🐾 Carmichael’s Barktoberfest is Back! 🐾

Back for its 4th year after the huge success of previous festivals, Carmichael’s Barktoberfest has quickly become the Top Dog of pet-friendly fall events! This fur-friend inspired festival will once again take over Carmichael Park, bringing together hundreds of local residents, families, businesses, and—of course—their pets.

Get ready for a tail-wagging good time with:

• Doggy-and-me games & activities
• Exciting demonstrations
• A pumpkin patch
• Local pet-friendly vendor booths
• Music & food trucks
• Pet adoptions from local rescues
• And our crowd-favorite Pet Costume Contest 🎃🐶🐱

New this year: Tiny But Mighty Corgi Dash! 🐾 Cheer on Carmichael’s fastest little legs as corgis race for glory in this short, silly, and seriously adorable Barktober showdown. Expect big personalities, tiny strides, and plenty of laughs!

This event not only creates a paw-sitive impact for local businesses, nonprofits, and families—it also gives back! Proceeds will directly benefit the Carmichael Park Dog Park, helping our four-legged friends enjoy the community year-round.
