experience live entertainment, a photo booth, free treats and dog-friendly vendors, including Marley’s Pet Planet serving specially crafted non-alcoholic dog beer for Fido and friends. “Every day, we welcome dozens of dogs and their owners out for a walk or a day of shopping, so Barks & Brews was the perfect event to bring together our community of dog-lovers for good vibes and a great cause,” said Nicky See, marketing director at Outlets at San Clemente. “Our team and stores look forward to this event each year, and we can’t wait to get the ‘paw-ty’ started,” said See. Local craft beer and handcrafted cocktails will be on tap. Drink tickets will be $5 for a 10 oz. pour, with all proceeds going directly to the Pet Project Foundation.
“Pet Project Foundation is incredibly grateful for the longtime partnership and fundraising support of Outlets at San Clemente,” said Vickie McMurchie, chairperson of Pet Project Foundation, which donates more than 30,000 hours of volunteer time each year to the San ClementeDana Point Animal Shelter. “Every dollar raised helps ensure that we can find forever homes for every animal in our shelter, no matter how long that may take.” Last year’s event hosted more than 1,000 local dog lovers, who helped raise $11,000 for Pet Project Foundation. The Barks & Brews event will take place at Outlets at San Clemente’s Oak Tree Court, 101 West Avenida Vista Hermosa. For more information, visit ShopOSC.com/Woof.

@andythehounddog // Went to Barks & Brews last year; it was a great event. Extremely nice people (and dogs) with supportive vendors. The local trails in San Clemente are all great. Beach Trail being number one. Patriot Hill is a nice hike too. The Outlets and all of their stores are extremely dog-friendly. The patio at Artifex brewing…
@lexithestandard // We love taking Lexi to the Outlets, especially Ruby’s or Rockwell’s and the dog-friendly shops, and of course on the Sea Summit and Beach Trails. We also like taking her to Nomad’s and Sundried Tomato as we’ve found them to be very dog-friendly. This will be our second year at Barks & Brews, and we had a great time last year. It’s such a fun event!
@caseythehuskylab // I will probably be at the Barks & Brews with my humans. They have always enjoyed the event. I really like walking the trails at Sea Summit and Beach Trails. I get to meet lots of friends. Dana Point Harbor is also fun to hang around.
