Take a break from your usual routine and check out Barktoberfest. You and your furry friend can enjoy various activities, including unique crafts, pet games, a costume contest, and even a dog wash. The best part? All proceeds from the festival go to support Friends For Life Animal Rescue Shelter, which has been voted Arizona's best animal shelter. This event has been running for 23 years, becoming one of Gilbert's longest-running annual festivals. So, come out and celebrate Halloween with your four-legged friend while supporting a great cause.

Come experience the magic of The Rose Garden for yourself and see why it's quickly becoming one of the hottest spots in town. With some of the best mixologists around, every drink is a work of art that will tantalize your taste buds and delight your senses. Whether you're looking to relax on the patio or cozy up in one of the corner booths, The Rose Garden is the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening with that special someone.
