Dogtoberfest is back this weekend and we’re wagging our tails. On Sat., Oct. 22, bring your furry friend to Freshfields Village for this free annual pet expo from 1-5 p.m.

Look forward to pawsome festivities like an adoptable meet + greet, pet vendors, pet costume contest, music and entertainment, and food and drink vendors. Snag a Dogtoberfest t-shirt here.

Heres the best part: All event proceeds will benefit local pet rescue organizations including the Charleston Animal Society, Lowcountry Lab Rescue, and Dorchester Paws.
