WHAT TO EXPECT

Join us for a FREE, festive fall afternoon and evening of food, music, and Halloween fun at Barks & Brews Fall Festival. Dress up your dog (and yourself!) for the Costume Parade & Contest with prizes for the best looks.

Enjoy savory options from Arepateca, known for their Venezuelan arepas, and Hardy’s BBQ, serving up smoky pit-style favorites. Pair your meal with local craft beer from 7 Locks Brewing, a Rockville brewery celebrated for its inventive small-batch ales, or sip Maryland-grown wine from Mazzaroth Vineyard, nestled in the rolling hills of Middletown Valley. Pups can enjoy special treats while families explore activities ranging from live music and lawn games to a children’s moon bounce—all in support of Hero Dogs, a nonprofit that trains and places service dogs with veterans and first responders free of charge.

As sundown arrives, grab your chairs and blankets and settle in for a Halloween-themed outdoor movie: the beloved classic Hotel Transylvania.
