Bark Bash will take place at the Outlets of Des Moines on Saturday, June 14, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Bark Bash is an exciting outdoor celebration where dogs and their humans come together for a day of fun, connection, and community spirit. Hosted by Golden Heart Dog Training and Knox Canine Training, this event was designed to honor the unique bond between people and their four-legged friends. Participants are invited to wander through a lively marketplace of local vendors, featuring everything from groomers and trainers to pet boutiques and doggy daycare services. Participants can enjoy pampering their pups, learning helpful tips, and savoring an afternoon with fellow dog lovers.

Dog vendors will be in Suite 315 at the center, next to Gap Factory Store, and outdoor activities will be held in nearby parking lot E (Bark Bash entry fee is $5.00; please pay at the Expo entrance). All social comfortable dogs on leashes are welcome to attend this Sniff, Shop and Socialize event. For additional information, visit BarkBashdsm.com or OutletsofDesMoines.com.
