11th Annual Barktoberfest
Get ready for a howling good time—
Barktoberfest is back for its 11th year! 🐾🎃
Join Dog-Harmony for the Emerald Coast’s most beloved doggie costume contest and canine-only trick-or-treat celebration at Grand Park in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 4:30–6:30 PM!
Dress up your pup and get ready for:
- Tasty Oktoberfest-inspired drinks
- Delicious light bites from JC’s Gourmet
- Live beats from DJ Diamond Dan
- Amazing raffle prizes
- 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.
This dog-gone good time is free and open to the public, and is proudly part of the Coastal Culture Series, thanks to the Grand Boulevard Arts & Entertainment Program.
No prong, choke, or shock collars, please—we’re all about positive vibes and wagging tails.
Don’t miss this paws-itively festive evening of fun, fur, and fall celebration!
