Port's Howl-O-Ween Paw Parade

Overview

If you thought your Halloween costume couldn't be beat, then you, my friend, have fallen for a trick — not a treat. Because these dogs will trump you. On Sunday, October 28, Port's annual Howl-O-Ween event is back.

The day's main event is the trick-or-treat dog parade, which last year featured more than 300 very good dogs and their owners, kicking off at 10am. Each dog needs a $15 ticket, which includes a dog-appropriate goodie bag and various treats along the parade route. All proceeds this year go to Guide Dogs Victoria,

There will be live entertainment, market stalls and prizes for the best-dressed pups, so start your outfit brainstorming now. Vampire viszlas, ghoulish golden retrievers, alien alsatians, t-rex terriers, Jack the Ripper jack russells — the creepy costume ideas are endless for man's best friend.
