Dog Events in Jeromesville, OH

This annual, family-friendly Oktoberfest‑style festival is a lively event attracting thousands of people each year for free live music on multiple stages, a beer and winegarten, and a marketplace featuring unique food, arts, and craft vendors. The event also offers fun-filled competitions like beer stein races, corn-hole, Pig Mac eating, sausage tosses, and the popular Woosterfest Wiener Dog Race on Saturday!

This popular portion of the annual Woosterfest celebration takes place on the festival’s Saturday schedule. Dachshund enthusiasts are invited to bring their speedy pups to dash through downtown Wooster’s streets in age-based heats, “Little Smokies” through “Knockwursts.” Beyond racing, participants show off their pups’ flair with a costume contest, with prizes for both speed and style! All dogs must be leashed before and after their sprint, comfortable in a group setting, and under handler control at all times.
