Boo-Le-Bark
One of the biggest events of the year in Athens, the Boo-le-bark on Boulevard is a huge pet parade put on by the Boulevard Neighborhood Association to benefit AthensPets. Each year, almost 1,000 dogs - spectators and participants alike - and their families show up in their Halloween best! After the parade, everyone is asked to head over to Jittery Joe’s to participate in contests, take photos, enjoy food, and catch some live tunes. The cost to participate is $20 per dog handler, and there is 125-dog maximum cap each year to keep everything safe and fun.

With several different age groups and prizes to be won for each, registrants and spectators are encouraged to give themselves plenty of time to pick up their goodie bag. For only $20, participants will receive a shirt and access to several refreshment stations throughout the race. Dogs can participate at no extra cost, and receive their own goodies as well!

Bark & Brew
The Athens Area Humane Society puts on a free beer tasting, with a suggested donation of $20, at Classic City Clydesdale Farms each Fall. Bark and Brew is one of the only events of its kind, allowing both dogs and children to come along as folk of age sample a few of the over thirty beers available. Sponsored by Terrapin, guests can expect prizes, a dog show, and live music as they make their way across the farm. Kids are welcome to a petting zoo put on by the farm, and well-behaved dogs can meet the horses, too! Event organizers welcome folding chair set-ups and encourage all dog-owners to bring bowls for their pups.
