This unique spin on the traditional Oktoberfest allows furry friends to join the celebration, making the day all the more paw-some. 

Harpoon’s Dogtoberfest kicks off with a one-mile fun run/walk, followed by a “barking lot” party. Attendees can enjoy food from a variety of food trucks and drink fresh beer from Harpoon while listening to music. 

There will also be a Harpoon Dog Beer made from a 100% malted barley mash with powdered peanut butter added directly to the kettle boil. This “beer” contains no alcohol or hops (which is poisonous to dogs), and it is non-carbonated.

Attendees can enter their dogs in the Fest-Minster Dog Show to compete in costume, trick and look-alike contests. 

Heading to the event without a pup? You can still leave with one. There will be an on-site adoption meet and greet presented by the MSPCA. 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Kenary Brain Tumor Research Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as well as the MSPCA.
