Who let the dogs out, again?! Join us for the third Barktoberfest with steins and canines as we celebrate German-style beer, bavarian food, and pawesome four-legged friends.
We'll be hosting our crowd-favorite dog fashion and costume show with two options: general Halloween fun and German/Oktoberfest themed.
Sip on both imported and locally crafted Oktoberfest style brews and there will be plenty of yard games again. The SPCA of Anne Arundel will be the main benefactor of the festival and their volunteers will be showing off pups and pouring beers!
Our stein-holding contests was incredibly competitive last year so don't miss to see who this year's champ is! There will also be plenty of fall photo opportunities!
General admission will be held at the Annapolis Town Center at the Boathouse pavilion in the East Village. It is $5 for a wristband in order to be able to drink.
Check back on our band lineup and Lost Lederhosen did a fantastic job in 2024 opening the show!
Don't miss out! Dogs that are friendly and on a leash are welcome but should be comfortable with crowds and other dogs nearby.
The event will go on rain or shine and refunds will not be issued for no-shows or a forced event cancellation.
