32nd Annual Dogtober Fest

Bring your dog to this celebration where thousands of canine friends and their families gather for a day of games, contests, and activities. You'll find over 90 vendors selling dog-related products and services, plus plenty of entertainment for both pups and people. Your dog can show off their skills in competitions like Best Trick, Dog/Owner Look-Alike, Best Tail-wagger, and a Howl-o-ween Costume Contest. There's also an agility course, frisbee competition, and family-friendly games such as Musical Discs and Bobbing for Biscuits. The event is free to attend, though the organizers welcome donations of dog food. Whether your pup is competitive or just ready to play and socialize, there's something for every dog lover in the family. It's a chance to spend an afternoon outdoors at the Kemper Education Center with your furry companion in a fun, pet-friendly environment designed to keep both dogs and their humans entertained.
