Akron DOGTOBERFEST (Akron Pugfest) at a glance
WHAT: I hope you didn't accidentally read that as BUG FEST, although a celebration of bugs would be sweet, too. Nope, this one is all about PUGS and assorted dogs and other pets. It's brought to you by the wonderful people at Stray Dog and it's cuddling its way into Akron and into all of our hearts (like a precious emotion, not a heartworm). Actually, you know what? Akron Pug Fest is now officially called DOGTOBERFEST in celebration of all of our canine friends (even thought it's not in October... DOGTEMBERFEST, maybe?).
WHEN: October 3, 2026
WHEN WHEN: Saturday 11am-6pm
WHERE: Lock 3, Main St. Akron, Ohio
HOW MUCH: Cheaper than free! Wait, that doesn't make sense. It is free, though.
HOW: Bring your dogs, bring your kids, bring your congenial demeanor and that cute thing you do when your hair gets in your eyes, but most of all bring yourself. I'm making puppy-dog-eyes at you but you can't see me (it's devastatingly adorable).
HUH: We are begging, rolling over, giving paw, and standing on our hind legs to all the good dogs who want information about Vending to follow this link for that very information. Artists, vendors, and food trucks are encouraged to nab a spot! Vendor booths are available at www.oddmall.info, which is the ONLY legitimate online place to nab booths.
WHY: Dogs are great, dude. Oddmall vendors are great, too. Stray Dog is the beans, man! Mix dogs, Oddmall, and Deliciousness into a vat and spill it all over the park and this is what you get. It's going to be glorious.
Stuff to do at Akron DOGTOBERFEST
Pet Costume Contests
Dog & Owner Look-alike Contest
Peanut Butter Licking Competition
Parade of Pooches
Pet Supply Donation Bin
Pet Adoption with Ohio Pug Rescue
Oddmall vendors
Food Trucks
An absolutely immense amount of other fun stuff!
