BarkBash 2025: Paws, Parades & Puppy Love - Saturday May 3rd – Sunday, May 4th

Calling all dog lovers: The Berry Farm is going to the dogs in the best possible way. For the first time ever, the farm is rolling out the green carpet for its inaugural BarkBash, a two-day celebration for pups and their people that promises tail wags, treats and a whole lot of adorable antics.

Set against a backdrop of radiant sunflower fields—peak bloom expected!—BarkBash invites guests to bring their furry companions along for the fun. And this isn’t just your average “dogs welcome” kind of event. The Berry Farm team has gone all out with a full schedule of pet-centric programming. Expect to see the cutest Pet Parade in town, where pups can strut their stuff in costume or au naturel, followed by a Best Dressed Contest sure to melt hearts.

But the highlight for many might just be the Dance Paw-ty, an open-air, music-filled mini rave for dogs and owners alike. Think pet-friendly beats, bubbles and lots of bouncing tails. There’s even a Barks & Bubbles Hour, where doggie mocktails and human refreshments, of course; set the tone for a relaxed afternoon in the sun.

Of course, no event is complete without snacks and BarkBash has gone above and beyond. Treat your good boy or girl to a frozen Pup Cup, or splurge on one of the farm’s thoughtfully curated Puppy Packages, filled with toys, treats, and keepsakes. With dogs allowed throughout much of the property for this special weekend, photo ops will be endless—imagine golden-hour pics in the sunflower fields with your best furry friend by your side.

Whether you have a teacup Chihuahua, a bounding Labrador, or just a soft spot for all things canine, BarkBash promises a weekend of joyful memories. Pro tip: come early and stay late—this one’s going to be a hit.

Mother’s Day Weekend & Season Finale - Saturday, May 10th Sunday, May 11th

The following weekend, the farm shifts into full bloom for a different kind of celebration: a heartfelt tribute to moms everywhere. Mother’s Day Weekend also marks the season finale of The Berry Farm’s 2024–2025 public season, making it a perfect opportunity to savor one last sunny outing before summer break.

From the moment you arrive, it’s all about making moms feel special. Every mother who visits during the Saturday, May 10th – Sunday, May 11th weekend will receive a complimentary combo meal, giving them a taste of the farm’s signature eats—think sweet corn, BBQ sandwiches, fresh-squeezed juices and maybe a berry dessert; or two for good measure!

The farm will be in full swing, with its colorful fields offering a dreamy backdrop for family photos, strolls and spontaneous moments of awe. Kids can burn off energy in the play areas, while families gather under shady picnic spots to soak up the laid-back vibe. Live music and classic Berry Farm activities; like hayrides and bounce zones round out the experience.

It’s also the last chance of the season to indulge in some farm-fresh fare from the food stands and market—so if you’ve been eyeing that strawberry shortcake or craving one last farm smoothie, now’s the time.

While this weekend marks the public season finale, the farm won’t be going completely quiet. They’ll still be available for private summer events, including group outings, corporate events and summer camps. But Saturday, May 10th – Sunday, May 11th is your final opportunity for casual weekend visits until the fall season kicks off later in the year.

Whether you’re a local who’s been visiting The Berry Farm for years, or a newcomer looking for the perfect excuse to get outside, May is the perfect moment to plan a visit. Between the puppy parties of BarkBash and the heartfelt warmth of Mother’s Day Weekend, there’s something for every member of the family—fur-covered or not.

So grab your sunglasses, charge your phone; trust us, you’ll want the photos and head south! The Berry Farm is wrapping up the season with sunshine, smiles and a whole lot of love. See you in the sunflowers!
