On Tap brings us the 5th annual wiener dog race (Wiener 500) down at Yards Park on September 24th!

Enter your long, little dog in the race or just come down to watch all the action.

The event is free to attend. It’s $25 to enter your pup in the race and the food and drink from local vendors and food trucks will cost. Enter your wiener dog here.

Last year almost 100 dogs raced. This year $500 in cash and prizes can be had for the fastest wieners! All race proceeds go to the Washington Humane Society.

Add in the Oktoberfest celebration, with contests (dress up you dog – even if it’s not a wiener dog) and live music (Lloyd Dobler Effect and DJ Chris Styles), and your Saturday dance card is full.
