Free Halloween event for dogs with costume contest, games, treats and local vendors at Historic East Ybor.
Bay Paws is taking over Historic East Ybor on Saturday, October 24, for Haunted Howls, a Halloween event built for dogs. It runs from 6 PM to 8 PM at 1212 N 34th Street in Tampa, and the whole thing is free and open to the public.
The main draw is a costume contest, so if you've been working on a little outfit for your dog, this is the place to show it off. Beyond the contest, there are games and treats for the dogs, and local vendors will be set up on-site, which gives you a chance to browse while your dog is busy with the activities. It's the kind of afternoon where the dogs are the guests of honor, and the people are there to watch them.
