Halloween Dog Parade 2025
This Howl-o-ween we are back with our special event for our canine companions in Downtown Courtenay! On October 25th, bring your furry friend in their most ghoulish, cutest, or outrageous outfits to parade along the sidewalks downtown. This year, we have Gladstone Brewing hosting the official after party on their dog friendly patio with additional chances to win costume based prizes. We have also partnered with Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North, raising funds to continue the incredible work they do in our area. We are excited to announce that two major sponsors / supporters are back this year in Bosley’s Courtenay and Embark Photography, both will be on site as they were last year with goodies and snapping incredible photos of our puppy poltergeists and dashing doggos.
Our route will begin at the Pet Treat Bakery, located in the Beaufort Association parking lot, 495 6th Street. At 11:30 am, meet up with volunteers on site to learn the route, judging for costumes will take place and prizes awarded, then make your way past the amazing businesses found downtown! Various locations will have special items for your puppers, and prizes for best costume will be offered as well.
