Downtown Caldwell's Dogtoberfest

Pints and Pups

This event is going to the dogs—in the best way possible! We’re celebrating our four-legged friends with an afternoon full of wagging tails, happy faces, and plenty of fun for humans and pups alike. Your besties aren’t just invited—they are the party!

We’re going full Bavarian on this one and putting our own twist on the centuries-old German Oktoberfest. What better way to celebrate doggo than to have a cold beer in one hand and a leash in the other. This is a great opportunity for those water lovin’ pups to enjoy our splash pad for the afternoon.

Some event highlights include “Running of the Wieners,” so pack up those Dachshunds and bring them on down to the plaza. They’re just so fun to watch! Dress up your pup in their finest threads because there’s a costume contest. Go all out! Think you have the forearm strength of a 19th-century Bavarian farmer? Prove it! We’re having a Stein Holding Contest, so get those arms prepped and ready for the occasion. Visit indiancreekplaza.com/dogtobergest for more event information.
