Central Bark 2026

Central Bark is a lively, dog-friendly community event packed with fun for both pets and their owners. The morning kicks off with a playful dog parade at 9:30 a.m., giving pups a chance to show off and enjoy the spotlight. The main event—the costume contest—follows around 10:30 a.m., featuring separate categories for small and large dogs, with prizes and recognition for the most creative looks. All participants receive a Wag Bag filled with goodies, and winners will be highlighted in local community features. In addition to the festivities, attendees can explore a variety of pet-focused vendors offering treats, products, and services, making it a great outing for anyone looking to celebrate their four-legged friends.
