Boxi Park in Lake Nona runs Pups, Pumpkins & Pints from Thursday, Nov. 12 through Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026 — live music all four days, a Saturday built around dogs, and a Sunday Family Fun Day with bounce houses, face painting and kids’ crafts.
Quick Facts
- When: Thursday, Nov. 12–Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026. Park hours: Thursday 5–10 p.m.; Friday 5–11 p.m.; Saturday noon–11 p.m.; Sunday noon–9 p.m.
- Where: Boxi Park, 6877 Tavistock Lakes Blvd., Orlando, FL 32827 (Lake Nona Town Center)
- Tickets: None listed on the official event pages; food and drinks are pay as you go. The park is cashless (credit or debit; cash can be exchanged for a Boxi gift card at the entrance).
- Good to know: Leashed dogs are welcome, and Barxi Park is the fenced dog park on site. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Boxi Park’s fall weekend is a four-day hang more than a single ticketed festival. The official Pups, Pumpkins & Pints page splits the hook clearly: Saturday is for the dogs, Sunday is for kids, and live music runs through the weekend. No ticket or cover is listed on the event pages.
If you were here for Boxi Park’s Veterans Day weekend (Nov. 5–8), this is the same container park, a new lineup, and a much more dog-forward Saturday.
The day-by-day lineup
- Thursday, Nov. 12: Boxi Park Run Club at 6:30 p.m., plus live music. The main event schedule names DJ Astylez that night.
- Friday, Nov. 13: Frequency Band, with Lost in Paris also on the official Friday schedule.
- Saturday, Nov. 14: Live music from Jen & Dave, DJ PopRoXxX and the Danny Bub Combo. The pup programming includes a dog treat bar, a pet photographer at 1 p.m., Poodle & Pooch Rescue at 1 p.m., a paw-print craft at 2 p.m., and a photo booth.
- Sunday, Nov. 15: Family Fun Day. The weekend page lists bounce houses at noon, face painters and balloon artists at 1 p.m., a kids’ craft at 2 p.m., and a photo booth. The Family Fun Day event page gives set times for the bands: Lucky To Be at 1 p.m. and the David Julia Band at 5:30 p.m.
Sunday Family Fun Days keep going after this weekend — official listings are also up for Nov. 22 and Nov. 29, each with its own bands — but Nov. 15 is the one folded into this pups-and-pumpkins weekend.
Dogs, kids and the park itself
Boxi is a shipping-container park with food and drinks, a stage, a kids’ playground and Barxi Park, the fenced dog area. Leashed dogs are welcome in the park; owners have to clean up, and dogs (other than service dogs) aren’t allowed in the restrooms. That setup is why Saturday’s treat bar, pet photographer and rescue visit actually fit the place, instead of feeling bolted on.
Same-weekend, same Town Center: Festivals of Speed is Sunday, Nov. 15, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., free with registration.
Why We’re Hyped
This is an easy Lake Nona weekend if you want a plan that doesn’t require a festival pass. Saturday gives dog owners a reason to show up in the afternoon; Sunday’s bounce houses and face painting give families a reason to come back. The music is the through-line, but the useful part is how clearly Boxi split the two days.
