“Everybody had the best time, even though it rained," Kelly McLemore, who organizes the triannual event, told BuzzFeed. "Corgi people are super committed.”

The event took place on the Huntington Dog Beach, and a portion of proceeds from merchandise went to a local corgi rescue organization.
Whole squads rolled up together.

Which was smart, considering there were some shark sightings.

Short, fluffy sharks with big, fuzzy butts, to be exact.
Some corgis went splashing through the water.
