Bring your dog. Bring your friends. Raise a glass for homeless pets.

Barktoberfest returns to White Park in downtown Riverside on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Spend the afternoon with local brews, live music, and hundreds of fellow animal lovers.

Your ticket includes unlimited tastings from local breweries and wineries. Sip, snack, and relax in a dog-friendly outdoor setting. Love beer? Love dogs? This is your day.
