Mark your calendars and prep your pets, because Howl-O-Ween is coming to Wolfe Park this October. In an event tailored for both pets and their humans, this free gathering promises an opportunity to mingle, a chance for your four-legged companions to strut their spooky stuff. Slated for October 13 from noon to 3 p.m. at 3700 Monterey Drive, expect a quaint afternoon of strolls and a bit, of shopping peppered with chances to snag some prizes from various vendors.
There's more to look forward to than just a wagging parade; come 2:30 p.m., the pets take center stage in a costume contest. Prizes are up for grabs for those who best capture the Halloween spirit – or at least, their owners' imagination and craftiness. But, let’s not forget, whilst the day is devoted to revelry, certain rules abide; visitors are reminded that all pets must be kept on a leash, one that can be shortened to 6 feet, as stipulated by the event's official announcement.
The local community has long embraced opportunities to blend public festivities with pet-friendly activities, and Howl-O-Ween is no exception. It’s a fresh take on community engagement, where the joy of companionship is celebrated under the playful pretense of Halloween. The event's open-door no-entry-fee policy, along with its commitment to inclusivity, makes it an easy addition to any animal lover's autumn itinerary.
