All proceeds benefit the Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreation.

Sat. September 5, 2026: Wiener Dog Races
Hold onto your bratwursts—the cutest competition of the year is here! Join us for the Oktoberfest Wiener Dog Race, where speed meets sass in a showdown of short legs and long bodies. Dachshunds of all sizes will dash, dart, and derp their way to glory as they race down the track in full festive fashion!
