Dogs and beer! Pawtoberfest is one of Colorado's ONLY dog-friendly festivals, featuring craft brew and spirit tastings with over 30 beverage partners, a 2-mile dog walk, pet-friendly vendors, music, pet contests, activities for the whole family, and plenty of scrumptious food from local food trucks!

Pawtoberfest brings animal lovers and dogs together for an important purpose - to help Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region care for thousands of lost, abandoned, abused, and unwanted pets, giving them a second chance.

Our Dog Walk will take place at Bear Creek Regional Park - EAST and will begin at 9 a.m. Participants may walk the 2 mile Dog Walk at their leisure between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
