The Wiener Dog Races are on! It’s the most competitive, most chaotic, most completely unhinged race in Oktoberfest history.
From seasoned racers to backyard barkers, dozens of dogs face off in a series of side-splitting sprints down the street.
Short legs. High stakes. Only one four-legged folk hero will emerge victorious.
