Dawg Fest: Mount Pleasant's motorcycle rally and concert

Dawg Fest is the Robert Arellano Dawg Fest Motorcycle Rally, an annual event held at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center that brings together motorcycles, live music, and community fundraising. The rally benefits the Robert Arellano Criminal Justice Scholarship and supports children in need across Titus County. It is a weekend of free concerts, a bike and car show, food vendors, bike games, auctions, raffles, and the Miss Dawg Fest pageant. For anyone living on or visiting the property, it is a chance to see Mount Pleasant at its most lively.

What to expect

Dawg Fest fills the Mount Pleasant Civic Center grounds with motorcycles, classic cars, and trucks on display, while a stage hosts free live music throughout the weekend. Food vendors set up on site, and the bike games give riders a chance to show off their skills. The event draws a crowd from across the region, and the atmosphere is more family-friendly than a typical bike rally, with a focus on community and scholarship fundraising.
