’Tis Dining Month, the tastiest time of year! This means we’re dishing up fun and fascinating food content throughout October. Dig in, Milwaukee! OnMilwaukee Dining Month is served up by Educators Credit Union and Potawatomi Casino Hotel.
Milwaukee dogs like festivals, too, and this one is all for them. OK, fine, humans can come, too.
Bark & BBQ, a first-time collaboration between OnMilwaukee and Milwaukee Radio Alliance’s B93.3 celebrating our four-legged best friends, will take place Saturday, Oct. 14 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Harley-Davidson Museum Campus, 400 W. Canal St.
The furry fun features more than 30 vendor booths with loads of treats, shopping and dog-related services. Other activities include:
- The SwiftPaws Central Bark Lure Course
- Camp Bow Wow Ball Pits
- Ralphie's Off-Leash Area
- Bark N Scratch Outpost Photo Booth
- Hydration Stations courtesy of NutriSource Pet Food
- Pupsicles from Bentley's Pet Stuff
- Pet Halloween Costume Parade at 2 p.m.
- Dog Tag engraving from Tito’s
Plus, the first 93.3 attendees receive a Zoom Room goodie bag.
Proceeds from the Lure Course and Ball Pits benefit Friends of MADACC, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting community awareness and improving the welfare of domestic animals in Milwaukee County.
Numerous restaurants and food trucks will also be on site slinging barbecue, including Motor Restaurant, Double B’s, Pig Tailz, Backyard Flava, Tots on the Street, The Iron Pig, K&L’S BBQ and Big City BBQ. Human attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite eats.
