The 4th Annual Pups & Pints is set to kick off on Saturday, September 23, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Austin’s Arboretum, located at 10000 Research Blvd., Austin, TX 78759. The pet-friendly event will offer live music, vendor booths, beverage samplings, pet adoptions and donations, and many more fun activities for guests and their fur babies to enjoy. 

Some of the attractions visitors and their pups can embrace at Pups & Pints include live music by Matt Creaton and a photo booth provided by Stella Events Co, according to Do Awesome Stuff in Austin. Guests can stroll through vendor booths by Hollywood Feed, Liberty Dog Bakery, DOGSHT, Therapy Pet Pals of Texas, Kona Ice, and The Pawstin Bakery. The fun doesn’t stop there, as visitors can also sip on beverage samplings by Big Country Hard Seltzer, Meridian Hive, and Soco Ginger Beer.

Additional fun activities guests and their pets can take part in together include face paintings, tarot card readings, a dog water station, pup portraits, and more, according to Eventbrite. Safe Rescue of Central Texas Pet Adoptions will also be on site, and visitors can make donations of pet supplies including new 24-inch dog kennels, puppy pads, dog toys, and Nulo canned dog food (puppy and adult). Those who make a donation will have a chance to win gift cards from Arboretum restaurants and retailer, according to Do Awesome Stuff in Austin.

Texans are not shy of taking advantage of a good time and neither are their fur babies. In April, Hops & Hounds in San Antonio hosted Woofstock, an all-day music festival for humans and dogs. Guests were able to enjoy a dog-friendly patio bar and live music provided by singer-songwriter Brandon Ford from New Braunfels.
