OKLAHOMA CITY -- Bricktown is booming this weekend and the entertainment district is being taken over by hogs and dogs.

Thousands of people are expected to pack the streets and many are gearing up for the biggest street party of the year, inside the Bricktown Brewery.

Mark Carter has been working to get things ready.

"We've been pretty busy back there with the Brewery getting all the beer brew," Bricktown Brewery Brew Master Mark Carter said. "We been brewing for the last three weeks consistently to have enough beer so we don't run out."

Bikers at Club HOG are staking out at the HOG Headquarters for now, they'll soon be shifting gears and driving to the heart of Bricktown bringing in big business with the Bike and Brick Bash.

"It's probably the biggest street party Bricktown has ever seen and we expect thousands and thousands of people to join us," Laura Kriegel with the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau said.

The Oklahoma City Summer Classic Dog Shows are in house at the Cox Communication Center. Owners from all over the country are showing off their four-legged friends. Laura Lange has lost count of how many shows she's been to over the years, but remembers the competition back then.

"Like a sheepbarn, not so lavish," Lange said. "Less AC but now it's grown and it's so nice and so many people come here, it's great."

And now it booms in Bricktown.
