Leashes, Lederhosen & Lager!

Back by pup-ular demand, Dogtoberfest is returning to the Garden for its second year this October—and it’s bigger, better and barkier than ever! Inspired by the beloved Bavarian tradition of Oktoberfest, this one-of-a-kind event brings together dogs and their humans for a festive celebration filled with live music, beer and plenty of tail-wagging fun every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month.

This year’s Dogtoberfest features exciting new additions, including live music, Oktoberfest-inspired competitions, and expanded dog entertainment and activities. Guests can indulge in Bavarian-inspired food and beer for purchase from Dottie’s at the Koi Pond, explore an enhanced Bark Walk and capture the moment at our stunning photo opp. With even more festive décor and increased community seating, the Garden’s Upper Meadow will transform into a cheerful biergarten atmosphere that welcomes pups and people alike.

Whether you’re coming for the brats, the brews or the barks, Dogtoberfest is the perfect way to celebrate fall—Garden style. Prost!
