Calling all dog lovers and their furry friends! Raleigh’s favorite canine event is back with the tail-wagging HOWL-O-Ween pet parade and costume contest set for October 19. Proud pet parents can showcase their pups in their Halloween best, with opportunities for tricks and treats, a little bobbing for bones, and photo moments in the festive PUP-kin photo booth. From the spookiest to the cutest get-ups, creativity will be unleashed across several categories including best doggie/owner duo, according to Raleigh’s Parks and Recreation announcement.
Local vendors and merchants will be answering questions and showcasing their wares while the dogs get their paws on treat bags filled with goodies and valuable coupons. While these treats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, pre-registered four-legged participants are guaranteed a share. Organizers promise an event that’s not just fur-filled, but a legitimate good time for all ages – with no admission fee to boot.
The parading pooches and their companions won’t be the only ones enjoying the event. On-site sponsors will be offering exclusive promotions and information directly to attendees, ensuring that the local pet community thrives with connection and support. Infused with the spirit of the season, HOWL-O-Ween is shaping up to be more than an opportunity for dress-up — it’s a celebration of the love and bond between dogs and their humans…
