BARCS Animal Shelter
The 21st Annual BARCStoberfest is our biggest event of the year. On Saturday, October 25, 2025, BARCS will host 3,000 humans and 2,000 dogs at Patterson Park for a dynamic festival. The festival has A LOT of moving parts, and so the day is simply not possible without help from our volunteers!
