Paw-sitively the Best Night of the Year: Dog Prom at The Bark June 28th, 2025 from 4pm-8pm at The Bark Knoxville

Every pup deserves their moment to shine—and there’s no better place to show off their sparkle than at Dog Prom at The Bark Knoxville! Held right here at our dog park and beer garden, Dog Prom is an unforgettable evening of wagging tails, adorable outfits, and canine camaraderie under the stars.

At this annual event, dogs (and their humans!) are invited to dress to impress. Whether it’s a bowtie, tutu, or full-on formalwear, creativity and cuteness are always welcome. Throughout the night, our Bark Rangers keep the good vibes rolling while pups play in our safe, supervised off-leash park. And yes, the beer will be flowing—our on-site bar will be open with a rotating selection of local craft brews, ciders, and seltzers for the humans to enjoy while the dogs party.

The highlight of the evening? The crowning of our Dog Prom King and Queen! You and your dog could take home the title, some fun prizes, and a year’s worth of bragging rights. Voting happens during the event, so be sure to show up in style.

Planning to Attend for the First Time?

Here’s what you need to know to join the fun:

• All dogs must have a Pet Profile set up in our system.
• A Playgroup Pre-Check is required to make sure your pup is comfortable and safe in an off-leash group environment.
• Pre-checks can be done the same day as your first park visit—just arrive a bit early so our team can guide you through the quick process.

Dog Prom is more than just a cute photo op—it’s a celebration of community, joy, and the special bond we share with our dogs. So grab your pup’s best outfit, raise a glass, and come make some memories at The Bark Knoxville!
