Get ready for Houston Pets Alive!’s 4th annual Barktoberfest presented by Pacifico—a fall festival that’s all about fun, furry friends, and making a difference! Join us on October 12th, from 2-6 pm at Powder Keg (1300 Brittmoore Road, Houston 77043) for an unforgettable day of festivities that the whole family, including your four-legged pals, will enjoy. The event is FREE to attend, but registration is required to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the excitement! Here’s what’s in store:
- Celebrity-Judged Dog Costume Contest: Dress up your pup and compete for prizes in categories like Most Creative Costume, Funniest Costume, Cutest Costume, and Judges’ Favorite. The winners will take home a prize valued at over $100!
- Food Trucks & Spooky Cocktails: Satisfy your cravings with a variety of delicious options from local food trucks and sip on spooky cocktails that perfectly capture the spirit of the season.
- Vendor Market: Shop till you drop at our extensive vendor village, featuring both pet-related and non-pet-related goodies. It’s the perfect place to find unique items while supporting local businesses.
- Commemorative Glass & Beer: The first 350 attendees to purchase beer or combo tickets will receive a complimentary beer pour and a commemorative beer glass to take home.
- Photo Opportunities: Capture the memories with your furry friend at our photo booth, where you can get instant prints and emails of your snapshots.
But Barktoberfest isn’t just about having a blast—it’s about saving lives. All proceeds from the event go directly to Houston Pets Alive! to support our mission of rescuing at-risk cats and dogs and finding them loving homes.
Can’t attend but still want to help? You can make a donation or even create a personal fundraising page. The top individual fundraiser will earn the chance to be one of our dog costume contest judges!
