Paradise Valley

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.
