Join Dav Pilkey's Dog Man for a Guinness World Record Event! Celebrate Free with Fans at Morris Performing Arts Center

Celebrate Dog Man's Epic Guinness World Record Attempt!

Join us for an unforgettable evening on December 9th at The Morris Performing Arts Center in South Bend, Indiana, as we're set to celebrate the beloved character, Dog Man, in an ambitious Guinness World Records attempt. This special one-night event, brought to you by Scholastic, marks an exciting highlight for fans of Dav Pilkey's global sensation.

What to Expect

Fans attending this unique event will not only get to break out their inner superheroes by dressing up as their favorite comic book characters but will also enjoy a live performance of Dog Man The Musical by TWTheatricals. Participants will have the chance to meet Dav Pilkey in person and receive a signed copy of his latest book, Dog Man Big Jim Believes.

This thrilling extravaganza promises to be both entertaining and community-oriented, as we gather to aim for the record for the largest number of people dressed as a comic book character. The record currently stands at 1,784, set back in 2015 during San Diego Comic-Con, and we’re eager to surpass it!

Event Registration

For those interested in attending this extraordinary event, tickets and advance registrations will become available starting at 10:00 AM EST on October 30th. Given the popularity of Pilkey’s work, especially after the sold-out Power Up with Reading tour, we recommend securing your spot promptly!

Celebrating Global Dog Man Day

Coinciding with this free event, there will be countless outings and activities throughout November to celebrate Global Dog Man Day. Bookstores, libraries, and schools across North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand will participate in various fun and engaging activities designed to excite young readers.

During this time, Pilkey’s mission of enhancing children's literacy will be emphasized, marking a momentous aspect of his ongoing efforts to inspire a love for reading with his captivating storytelling.

Pilkey's Forward-Thinking Vision

Dav Pilkey's dedication to literature is commendable. Apart from promoting reading through his bestselling series, he aims to uplift underfunded schools through initiatives that provide books to children who need them most. Support and outreach efforts in a multitude of communities form the backbone of his contributions to fostering literacy among today's youth.

As Pilkey himself expressed, "I'm humbled and honored that I get to play a part in getting kids excited about books." His belief in the transformative power of reading continues to resonate through each of his works, and the upcoming celebration is a testament to that commitment.

Highlights of Dog Man

The Dog Man series continues to charm readers of all ages with its unique blend of humor and empathy. By following the adventures of our canine superhero and his friends, readers are encouraged to explore diverse themes of kindness, resilience, and personal growth. Not only does it provide entertainment, but it also educates through relatable narratives that resonate with the challenges faced by young readers.
