VIP Dog Bowl Weekend Experience: The Big Dog Deal

Calling all dog lovers — this is your chance to experience one of Frankenmuth’s most unique and beloved annual events in VIP style! This package includes The Big Dog Deal VIP Package for the Frankenmuth Dog Bowl, happening May 23 & 24, 2026 in Frankenmuth, Michigan. For those unfamiliar, Frankenmuth Dog Bowl is the world’s largest Olympic-style festival for dogs, featuring dog dock diving, pet costume contests, stunt dog performances, agility demonstrations, pet vendors, dog activities, and countless opportunities for your pup (and your family) to join in on the fun. It’s a full weekend dedicated to celebrating dogs and the people who love them. Making the weekend even more magical, Dog Bowl takes place alongside Balloons Over Bavarian Inn, the hot air balloon festival and official sister event to Dog Bowl. Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy beautiful hot air balloon launches and balloon glows in addition to all the dog-centered festivities. Even better? Your exclusive VIP parking pass works for both events, giving you premium convenience all weekend long. This specially designed VIP package is loaded with festival perks, souvenirs, food, shopping credits, and bonus entertainment — making it one of the most exciting family-friendly packages in the auction. Your VIP experience includes premium festival parking both Saturday and Sunday, putting you right near the festival entrance so you can spend less time walking and more time enjoying the event.
