Pooches & Pupkins

@

Celebrate the season with your pup at Pooches & Pupkins, a tail-wagging evening of festive fun at the Garden. This event invites dog lovers and their four-legged friends to explore our scenic lawn spaces and festive pumpkin displays while showing off their most creative fall costumes.
The highlight of the evening will be the Pooch Parade, a playful costume contest featuring a photo op and prizes for the best-dressed pups. A panel of local celebrity judges will be on hand to select the winners. Check out the event timeline below.
Guests will enjoy:
- Complimentary pup cups from the Garden
- Pet friendly vendors offering treats, gear, & goodies
- Live music, with your hosts, Amber and Mildred
- Instagram-worthy backdrops to capture your Garden memories together
- Seasonal refreshments & snacks for purchase
Stroll through the Garden in crisp, golden hour light, mingle with fellow dog lovers, and enjoy a festive, community-focused atmosphere.
This event is part of Festifall, our seasonal celebration at the Garden in September and October, proudly sponsored by First Horizon Bank.
