Greyhounds in Gettysburg

Greyhounds in Gettysburg, or GiG as it is affectionately called, is a four-day annual fundraising event filled with shopping opportunities, seminars, socials and more.

Thanks to the dedication of countless volunteers and adoption groups and the continued support of our guests, sponsors and vendors, GiG has become the largest sighthound reunion in the country. Hundreds of people and their hounds enjoy this fun weekend in the beautiful Gettysburg countryside.

GiG began in 1998 with a small group of friends and has steadily grown yearly. In 2013, Nittany Greyhounds took over the management of the event. Our mission has always been to raise awareness about greyhound adoption, and all proceeds from GiG benefit our adoption efforts.

Recently, though, GiG has become much more aware of the plight of other sighthounds in this country and around the world, of ex-racers from countries such as Ireland and Australia, and of the joy of owning other sighthounds like Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Borzoi, etc. 

All these groups have found their place at GiG, and we welcome them to our event. We plan everything so your hounds are welcome at our events and venues.

Our event home is in Gettysburg. This year's event will be held at a new location. Details coming soon! The host hotel will also be announced soon. We have a few off-property events, and the names and addresses of those venues will appear on the schedule.

Dogs are welcome at all venues and events (except in the Seminary Ridge Museum).

Note: You must be registered for the event to sign up for ticketed events.

We hope you will join us in 2026!
