Big Dog’s Brewing Company will host its annual DOGtoberfest Beer & Music Festival on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM at its brewery at 4543 N Rancho Drive in Las Vegas.
The dog-friendly festival blends a classic Oktoberfest beer celebration with a Wisconsin-style brat cookout, and proceeds will benefit a local charity.
Guests can sample more than 45 independent craft beers while live bands perform classic rock and island reggae throughout the evening.
The event also features Halloween costume contests for both dogs and humans, along with raffles and giveaways.
Food is a centerpiece of the festival, with bratwursts and other Oktoberfest fare available on site.
Attendees who want to plan ahead can find festival details, ticket packages, and updates on the Big Dog’s Brewing events page.
In past editions, ticket packages were sold in advance through Eventbrite, with a portion of festival package sales and all raffle proceeds supporting charity partner Michael’s Angel Paws.
Raffle prizes at previous festivals ranged from gift cards and glassware to televisions, computers, and custom art, and winners did not need to be present to claim them.
Big Dog’s is a familiar name for Las Vegas dog owners, and its covered Front Porch patio earned a spot in our roundup of dog-friendly restaurant patios in Las Vegas.
The brewery regularly welcomes leashed dogs with water bowls, leash hooks, and attentive service.
The festival continues a strong year for beer events that give back to Nevada animals, following the 9th Annual Silver State Brewfest, which raised funds for The Animal Foundation in July.
Events like these turn an afternoon out into direct support for rescues, shelters, and service dog programs across Southern Nevada.
October evenings in Las Vegas are typically mild, making the 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM window comfortable for dogs attending with their owners.
As always, bring water for your pup, keep dogs leashed, and confirm event details with the venue before attending, as dates and offerings can change.
