This Howl-o-ween the Downtown Courtenay BIA is back with their special event for canine companions in the Comox Valley!

On Saturday, October 25th, bring your furry friend in their most ghoulish, cutest, or outrageous outfits to parade along the sidewalks downtown. Gladstone Brewing is hosting the official after party on their dog friendly patio with additional chances to win costume based prizes. Funds raised from the event will benefit Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North, to continue the incredible work we do in the area. You can sign up by donation with the form below!

Thank you to two major sponsors / supporters who are back this year, Bosley’s Courtenay and Embark Photography. Both will be on site 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. Meet up with volunteers on site at 11:30 am, to learn the route. Costumes judging will take place and then prizes will be 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.
