The Great Bark Bash
Saturday, September 20 from 10am -3pm
@Deschutes Historical Museum
We are thrilled to introduce a tail-wagging addition to our lineup: the Great Bark Bash! Nestled in the heart of Bend at the Deschutes Historical Museum, this one-day celebration is dedicated to our four-legged friends and the families who love them.
From the high-speed hilarity of the Wiener Dog Races and the bumbling joy of the Running of the Bulldogs to the debut of the adorable Corgi Crush, there’s a race for every pup and a prize for every snout.
Wiener Dog Race: Dash to Victory! Daschunds of all sizes and colors will gather to compete in the eagerly anticipated Wiener Dog Race. Cheer on your favorite four-legged friend as they chase the title of fastest wiener dog in town!
Running of the Bulldogs: Bulldozing the Competition! Watch these robust bulldogs show off their strength and determination as they thunder down the track.
The Corgi Crush: Register your fluffy Corgi friend in the return of this fan favorite addition
The Mutt Strut Dog Show: Now all dogs can join the Bark Bash fun! Register your furry friend for one or more of our Mutt Strut Dog Show categories.
