If you loved Bark & Brewfest last year, get ready for something even better! We’re shaking things up and bringing you the all-new Pups & Pours Block Party—a fun-filled evening of great drinks, delicious food, live entertainment, and of course, dogs!
Enjoy unlimited samples from local breweries, distilleries, and wineries, plus a variety of food trucks serving up tasty bites.
Live Bands & DJ Sunny will keep the energy high, while K-9 demonstrations showcase incredible four-legged talents.
Get your puppy fix at the Puppy Cuddling Area, shop from local merchants, and take part in raffles and games for exciting prizes!
Best of all, every sip and every ticket helps save lives! All proceeds from Pups & Pours directly benefit Dog Star Rescue, a 100% volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs in need.
