Barktoberfest at Grand Boulevard

Dog Harmony presents the tenth annual Barktoberfest, the beloved doggie costume contest and canine-only trick-or-treat celebration at Grand Park in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 4:30–6:30 PM. This dog-gone good time is free and open to the public.  

Dress up your pup and get ready for: tasty Oktoberfest-inspired drinks, light bites from JC’s Gourmet, live beats from DJ Diamond Dan, amazing raffle prizes, a pet photo booth, and, of course, the legendary Halloween Costume Contest.

For just a $15 donation (or $20 day-of), you and your costumed pup can strut your stuff and compete for fun prizes. Register here: https://events.humanitix.com/barktoberfest-2025/tickets.
