Dog Events in Highland, WI

Bring Fido to this arts and crafts fair where there'll be painting, ceramics, wood, glass, jewelry, photography, and fiber art, while enjoying live music and regional foods against the scenic Kickapoo Valley hills. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on the grounds, but not inside tents.

As part of the Annual Galena Oktoberfest, the crowd favorite Wiener Dog Races begin with registration at 11 AM. The race will feature different divisions based on age. Each heat winner advances to the semi-finals, and winners compete in the championship race for best-of-day honors in their division. Every Dachshund needs a handler to release and another to receive, with volunteers available if needed.

This annual festival kicks off with a ceremonial keg tapping and cannon blast. Dachshunds are invited to compete in the crowd favorite Wiener Dog Races! There will also be a stein-hoisting competition, live music, polka dancing and lessons, pumpkin decorating, great food and beer, and giant games like Jenga and Connect-4. All dog breeds welcome, as long as they're friendly and leashed. Only Dachshunds can participate in the race.
