Great Live Music & Exciting Events Are Coming To Dog Days This July!

We'll be wrapping up an eventful June this week, which means it's time to look forward to all of the exciting stuff your favorite waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks has in store for you in July! You already know we've got delicious food & drinks 7 days a week, as well as that awesome pool. Here are the events that you can enjoy at Dog Days Bar & Grill in July while you are already enjoying those other things too! 

Independence Day Log Jam
Saturday, July 7
We're keeping the holiday going into the weekend! If you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did at the Memorial Day Log Jam, then you need to get our 4th of July version marked on your calendars right now. If you missed it, well then you definitely need to make an effort to join us this time around! Also, if you need a place to stay, the Dog Days vacation house rental at the Lake of the Ozarks is available this weekend (at this time, but act fast!)     

This always-incredible holiday weekend event will take place from 1-5 pm and is presented by the 2018 Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival, Logboat Brewing Company, 102.3 BXR, and yours truly, Dog Days Bar & Grill. There will be lots of ice-cold Logboat beer flowing, plenty of fun giveaways, and the unbelievably talented King Benny taking the stage to take our party up to another level! Plan to stick around after the Log Jam too, because we've got more live music coming your way all night long.   

AquaPalooza 2018
Saturday, July 21
It's time once again for the biggest single-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks! Join us from noon-5 pm, by lake or by land, for this 5-hour long party and lakeside concert. We'll have the stage set up facing the cove, plus vendor booths at the restaurant. There is another out-of-this-world lineup planned for the 2018 concert (see below) and we expect the energy from you guys this year to make it even more fun & exciting than last year! (That's a tall order, but we know you've got it in you!) This is the type of event that you'll kick yourself for missing, so don't! Conserve your energy so you can stick around all night too because we've got more entertainment planned for after AquaPalooza is over.

Who's Ready For AquaPalooza 2018?

We are just one month away from the biggest party on the water at the Lake of the Ozarks - AquaPalooza! This year's event will be taking place on Saturday, July 21 at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach. If you haven't already started making plans, now is definitely the time to do so!

What is AquaPalooza?
AquaPalooza, in case you haven't heard, is the biggest single-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks. This amazing concert on the water takes place from noon-5 pm, with even more awesome entertainment happening in the evening once its over. 

Thousands of people attend this annual event at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant every year, by land and by lake. Hundreds of boats will be parked in and around our docks for a prime view of the lakeside concert, but you can both hear and see the stage from the restaurant too, and it will be just as packed up there! 

People come from all over the country to attend this awesome party. The waiting list for dock slips alone fills up a year in advance, but no worries, because all of the boaters that don't get a slip simply tie up to each other and fill the entire cove with watercraft. In between those boats, the lake is filled with people on floaties, sitting back, relaxing, and having a great time with all the new friends they're meeting. 

As we mentioned, AquaPalooza can also be enjoyed from the restaurant. We've got the Dog Pound cranking out drinks as well as the swim-up bar at the pool. This year we've also got our brand new Wooftop Patio open for business with the most amazing view of the Lake of the Ozarks you've ever had the pleasure of seeing, especially on a day like this!   

2018 Music Lineup
Every year the most entertaining live acts hit the AquaPalooza stage, and this year is no exception. We've got 4 incredible bands lined up to keep the party going all day long. 

Chad Bearden

The I-Berrys

Ryan Collins Band

Goddesses of Rock

Don't expect the party to end once the last act leaves the stage, though, because we've got even more live music headed your way on our regular stages that night! First up, DJ Dr. Cheese and Taz the Drummer will entertain you from 6-10 pm, followed by Chad Bearden rocking the house 10 pm-close.

Make Travel Plans NOW!
If you're coming to the lake area from far away, start making those travel plans right now. If you live nearby, make sure you've made arrangments to get yourself to Dog Days Bar & Grill early on Saturday, July 21 and back home again late that evening. This is an annual event that you do not want to miss, and most likely the most exciting party you've ever attended. It's sure to produce all kinds of awesome stories to tell your friends about so that they make plans to join you for AquaPalooza 2019 next year!

It's Canine Cannonball Time at the Lake of the Ozarks!

We are well-known for hosting some of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks, and one of those much-anticipated events is this weekend's Canine Cannonball 2018! If your four-legged family member enjoys jumping in the water as much as most of us do here at the lake do, then you'll want to get your team signed up for this family-fun weekend at Dog Days Bar & Grill.

Event Details
This year's Canine Cannonball will take place Friday-Saturday, June 8-10. It's always thrilling for people of all ages to watch, and the dogs that are here that day seem to really enjoy it too! We'll have a great big pool set up down by the water, and our four-legged competitors will take turns to see who is the best jumper in the lake area.  

The competition is open to all dogs and their handlers, and there are 3 categories in which to compete. You are welcome to sign up for 1, 2, or all 3 events. Those events area explained below, followed by the weekend's schedule.

• BIG AIR - This is a long jump for dogs. They may begin at any point on the 40' dock. When ready, they run and jump as far as they can after a toy thrown into the water by their handler. The distance between the end of the dock to the point where the jumper's tail set breaks the water's surface is logged as the official distance.  
• EXTREME VERTICAL - This is a high jump for dogs. They begin at the 20' mark on the dock. A bumper toy is extended 8' from the end of the dock over the water. Jumps begin with the toy at a height of 4'6" and that height is increased by 2" increments as the competition progresses. 
• SPEED RETRIEVE - In this event, dogs once again begin at the 20' starting mark on the dock. A bumper toy is suspended 2" above the water at the far end of the pool with a starting indicator light above it. Once that light turns green, the handler releases their dog, the time clock begins, and it stops as soon as the dog pulls the toy from the bracket.

Benefitting the Dogwood Animal Shelter

Our local no-kill shelter, the Dogwood Animal Shelter, will once again be onsite this year with four-legged friends for you to add to your happy family. (Dad would probably love to get a dog for Father's Day this year!) Who knows, you may just adopt next year's big Canine Cannonball winner! We will also be selling souvenir Canine Cannonball t-shirts, and all of the proceeds raised from the t-shirt sales will go directly to the Dogwood Animal Shelter. 

We also currently have a "Vodka for Dog People" promotion going on in conjunction with Tito's Vodka. Now through the end of the Canine Cannonball weekend, if you order a specialty cocktail off of our Tito's Dog Drink Menu, $10 from each purchase will go to the Dogwood Animal Shelter. In addition to that, Tito's Vodka will match that $10, making it a total of a $20 donation, all from one drink! 

As a bonus for you (or actually, for your dog,) every drink also comes with your choice of a leash, chew-toy, or water bowl. Non-drinkers are welcome to purchase those doggy items for $10 without the cocktail, and that money will be donated along with Tito's matching donation.

You can get your dog pre-registered, plus learn even more details about this event and the organization that created it, by visiting www.DockDogs.com. If you miss your chance to register online, there will also be on-site registration at the beginning of each day.
