Calling all four legged friends, Indian Creek Plaza is welcoming you and your owners (leashes required) to join us in celebrating two of our favorite things this October…dogs and beer! Bring your pups, dress them up and enjoy an Oktoberfest themed celebration. Taste some of the best seasonal brews to come out of the Treasure Valley and if you think you have the best canine in the valley you can prove it! This is your one opportunity to bring man’s best friend to the Plaza and run through our Splash Pads.
