Dogtoberfest
We are welcoming our furry, four-leggged friends to enjoy Dogtoberfest every Saturday and Sunday beginning October 10, 2026 through November 1, 2026.
This year’s Dogtoberfest features exciting new additions, including a larger band with dancers, more Oktoberfest-inspired competitions, an expanded VIP Beer Tasting experience for a VIP Dog ticket. Guests can indulge in Bavarian-inspired food and beer for purchase from Dottie’s at the Koi Pond, have their pup compete in dog races, 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!
