Calling dog and beer lovers! The ultimate Barks & Brews Festival is on Saturday, March 23rd, 2024, at Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego. Help raise money for The Barking Lot Rescue while enjoying a day filled with craft beer tastings, delicious food, furry friends, and the breathtaking backdrop of San Diego Bay.

This year’s event promises excitement with a variety of local pet and retail vendors, over 25+ local tastings, and some of San Diego’s finest culinary delights. Let your four-legged companion roam free in designated unleashed areas tailored for dogs of all sizes. Plus, don’t miss the chance to showcase your pup’s talent and style in our pet-friendly contests, including “most talented” and “best dressed,” judged by our star-studded panel.

Explore the festival grounds to discover unique activations and activities for you and your pooch. Lounge in hammocks, shop local boutique vendors or simply bask in the sunshine with bayside views while listening to tunes from local artists. With two music areas featuring animal-friendly volumes, every member of the family can enjoy the festivities.

Prefer spirits over tastings? No problem! Opt for the General Admission ticket and indulge in refreshing cocktails at the event’s full bars. Designated driver tickets are available for those who wish to enjoy the event without partaking in beer tasting. From beer aficionados to designated drivers, there’s something for everyone at Barks & Brews Fest – San Diego’s most comprehensive pet-friendly event. Secure your tickets for an unforgettable day of fun, fur, and flavors!

Barks & Brews is a 21+ event.
