DOGtoberfest 2026: Kitchener's Dog-Friendly Oktoberfest

Kitchener's DOGtoberfest is back for 2026, giving dogs and their people their own corner of Oktoberfest at the Gaukel Block downtown. Presented with Dog Friendly K-W, the free weekend brings trick-training advice, group pack walks, contests, and a lineup of pet vendors and rescue booths. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome. Drop by across October 10 and 11 for a laid-back, tail-wagging fall festival.
