Doggie Date Night on the Independence Square | 2026

It's time to get out and enjoy a date with your best friend - your pup! A 3-course meal will be prepared for your dog by Brookside Barkery.
About this Event

It's an evening for the dogs. Reserve a meal for your dog and a seating time/restaurant location. The ticket time you choose will be the time of your reservation. You may order off the restaurant's menu for you and other human guests (seating will be for a group of 4 or less. Let us know if you need different accommodations.)

Choose from Ophelia's Restaurant, Cafe Verona, and Courthouse Exchange Restaurant. Dinner will be outside on their patios. Your ticket will include a multi-course meal for one dog provided by Brookside Barkery & Bath and doggie dessert provided by Mixed Mutt & Co. Humans may order from the restaurant menu that evening at an additional cost. Your best friend will be provided with a fresh water bowl, multiple courses, and lots of love. All restaurants are located in our historic downtown.

Proceeds from this event will benefit Shep's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary in Independence.

All dogs must be on a leash and be socialized. No more than one dog per human handler. Thanks.
