Orlando, FL (RestaurantNews.com) Get ready to unleash the party, Orlando! This Spring, Orlando’s ultimate canine paradise and community social hub, BarkHaven, is inviting dogs and their humans to dance, wag and glow at Barkhaven’s first official “Barkchella” Presented by Duvin Design Co. dog-friendly, rave-style music festival experience on Saturday, April 18, 2026. As the sun sets, BarkHaven will transform into an immersive atmosphere of music, lights and movement. From 5pm until late, the open-air, sunset-to-night, high-energy festival production designed for both dogs and humans will feature performances by two live DJs CHYMERA and CHASENSPACE, glowing lights, a full foam party, Pawlicious doggie ice cream, Ohana Auro handmade jewelry, crafts, special guest DJ sets, bubbles and more tail-wagging fun and surprises throughout the night. (Dogs are welcome, but not required.)
“Who says raves are just for humans?” says BarkHaven Manager Chase Bowden. “We first launched the concept earlier this year, and it was a huge success, and now we’re very excited to bring it back officially as ‘Barkchella’, which really captures the vibe for this one-of-a-kind night where humans and their dogs can dance under the lights, enjoy music and have fun together. This isn’t your average dog park night – it’s high-energy, immersive and built for people who want to party together with their pups. BarkHaven is all about providing unique and memorable experiences for folks to fully enjoy time together with their furry family members and friends in one space, and this event definitely takes that to the next level. We encourage everyone to come early, stay late and experience BarkHaven like never before.”
