Bark n’ Brewfest

Bark n’ Brewfest


Cheers to the Animals! See below for paw-ticipating brewers (line up subject to change, new brewers added regularly).

🍻 Join Peninsula Humane Society on June 27, 2026, from 2:00pm – 5:00pm at West Washington Park in Burlingame for our Bark n’ Brewfest fundraising event (voted Best Fundraising Event on the Peninsula in 2018 and 2019!). Bring your four-legged friends for a fun filled afternoon where local craft breweries and artisan wineries will be pouring samples of their beverages into a commemorative glass for you to enjoy. You also can visit our adoption booth and meet some of our adoptable animals.

🍻 Well-behaved dogs on leash are always welcome! Valid IDs will be checked at entry – you must be 21 years of age or older in order to participate in tasting. (Human years only, please! Your age in dog years will not be taken into consideration.)

🍻 Strut Your Stuff! Our official Bark n’ Brewfest 2026 apparel is available NOW! Click here to shop all styles and colors. A commemorative Bark n’ Brewfest tasting glass is included with every ticket purchase and will be available for pick up at the event.

🍻 Raise a Glass and Give Shelter Animals Hope! All proceeds from Bark n’ Brewfest go straight to helping shelter animals through our Hope Program. This special fund allows us to make well and find homes for even the neediest animals that find their way through our doors. We believe in second (sometimes third!) chances, and charitable donations from our community allow us to stretch our wings when it comes to medical and behavioral care.

🍻 Food at the Event: Sunset 29 BBQ, with a special event menu!

🍻 Tickets: $50 through May 26. $60 from May 25 through June 26. $70 online and at the door on June 27.

🍻 FAQ:

🐾 Who is pouring at the event?

Check out the list below. Brewer line up is subject to change.

🐾 What is included with the ticket price?

Each ticket holder gets a commemorative glass to taste unlimited 3 oz pours from participating beverage vendors between 2pm and 5pm on June 27, 2026 along with the good feeling (not just from the beer!) that proceeds help shelter animals 😊 There will be treats here and there for dogs and possibly free toys. Any non-alcoholic vendors are charging separately and not included in ticket price.

🐾 Where should I park?

Street parking is limited but available within walking distance of the park. Please check street signage for time limits. The Burlingame Caltrain station is directly across the street from the event and the Millbrae Bart station is about three miles away with a bus line to connect them. Carpooling or using a car service is also recommended.

🐾 Can I bring my children?

Due to the alcohol consumption at the Bark n’ Brewfest, this event is geared towards adults. If you choose to bring children, keep them well behaved and with you at all times. They do not need an event ticket.

🐾 Are ADA bathrooms available?

Yes, the park has two ADA compliant restrooms next to the event. Please note: The event takes place in a park, and the grass will make it difficult for wheelchairs to manuver.

🐾 I can’t attend, how can I still support the shelter animals?
