Barktober Fest 2025
Save the Date! Barktober Fest and the Walk for the Animals is at Innovative Field on Saturday, September 27th, for Barktober Fest!!
Barktober Fest is Lollypop Farm’s second-largest fundraiser to support vital services and programs for homeless and abused pets in our community! Your participation provides care for thousands of animals each year. And with fun contests, exciting activities, food vendors, live music, and more. It’s the most fun you can have helping pets in need.
Construction is underway on Lollypop Farm’s Kindness for All Kind expansion project! This will transform Lollypop Farm into one of the country’s foremost community-based animal welfare and education centers. Due to this construction, Barktober Fest will be held at Innovative Field. Learn more at lollypop.org/kindness.
We hope that you join us at Innovative Field for Barktober Fest, the largest pet-friendly festival in Rochester! Check out the main stage with a live band and K9 contests. Explore local artisan vendors selling fun items for both you and your pet. Kids will have a blast at the Family Fun Zone, with a bounce house and speed-pitch area. Barktober Fest is the most fun you can have while helping pets in need. We hope you’ll join us!
