The Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce invites attendees to discover Barktoberfest, a fall festival for dogs and dog owners. Centered around locally-brewed craft beer and music, this dog-friendly event is designed to bring together the community.
"Barktoberfest encourages you to leash up your pooch pal and come out to enjoy a locally brewed beer, food and live music while you browse vendor booths with everything from pet-related products to locally made crafts to bottlecap creations and cool wearables for craft beer collectors," write event organizers. "Dogs can compete in the Howl-a-ween Costume Contest, a weiner dog race and more."
Guests are encouraged to bring their dogs, but human friends are welcome, too. There is a $5 entry fee, but children 10 and under are free. IDs are required. Live entertainment will also be included in the event. The event will be held at Royal Oak's Memorial Park, located at 13 Mile Road and Woodward Avenue.
Those interested in exhibitor or sponsorship opportunities should call Jennifer at 248-547-4000. Visit royaloakchamber.com for more information.
Royal Oak Barktoberfest Starts Sept. 15
