This Weekend: Dogtoberfest in Downtown Austin

This Sunday, Blue Dog Rescue will host Dogtoberfest, an event to celebrate 10 years of finding homes for unwanted dogs. Blue Dog Rescue is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to end the needless killing of homeless dogs in Central Texas.

Dogtoberfest begins at 9 a.m. at Republic Square Park with the Blue Dog Birthday Walk. Following the walk, a party next door at The Ghost Room will kick-off the event, featuring local artists with The Austin Flea Art Fair. Live music begins at noon, and the entire event will last until about 8 p.m. Refreshments, doggie contests and a silent auction are all part of Dogtoberfest.
