A dog park and social venue near downtown Orlando is planning a music festival later this month designed for both dogs and their owners.<\/p>\n

BarkHaven will host<\/a> its first official \u201cBarkchella\u201d event on April 18, featuring live DJs, lights, a foam party and dog-friendly activities during an evening festival style event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Organizers say the event will run from 5 p.m. until late and will transform the outdoor venue into a rave with music, bubbles and themed attractions for guests and pets.<\/p>\n

The lineup includes performances by DJs CHYMERA and CHASENSPACE, along with food vendors, handmade jewelry, dog treats and specialty items such as dog ice cream.<\/p>\n

BarkHaven manager Chase Bowden said the event builds on a similar concept tested earlier this year that drew strong turnout.<\/p>\n

The venue opened in November 2025 and has quickly become known as a hybrid dog park, restaurant and nightlife gathering space in Orlando.<\/p>\n

In addition to a supervised off-leash dog park, BarkHaven includes a full-service restaurant and bar, grooming facilities, fire pits, indoor games and event space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The venue is located between Orlando\u2019s Ivanhoe Village and Mills 50 District neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Organizers say dogs are welcome at Barkchella but not required for entry.<\/p>\n

BarkHaven regularly hosts themed weekly events, including breed meetups, trivia-style social gatherings and late-night DJ programming on weekends.<\/p>\n

More information about admission, memberships and event details is available through BarkHaven\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
