Bring Fido to this favorite tradition at Nashville Oktoberfest! Owners and their pets will compete for prizes for best costumes. All breeds are welcome!

Celebrate the traditions of the Oktoberfest in the heart of Music City spanning 10 city blocks! There will be delicious German foods from dozens of restaurants and vendors, world-class beer from local breweries, tons of events, arts and crafts vendors, stages of live German music, the Annual Pup Parade on Saturday, and the Dachshund Derby on Sunday. All animals must comply with city leash laws. Please be aware that almost 150,000 people attend this event, so the streets will be very crowded and busy.

This annual event pits adorable Dachshunds competing to the finish line down a 50' track. Winning Wieners in each racing category are awarded a Coveted Dachshund Derby medal. All racers need to be a Dachshund or Dachshund mix to enter, but all breeds are welcome at the Nashville Oktoberfest.

Leashed dogs are welcome for a full day of fall fun! Enjoy live music, browse wonderful vendors, savor food truck treats, and indulge in fresh cider donuts and cider slushies.
