Pumpkin spice everything, apple cider donuts, haunted houses and hopefully, cooler temperatures are some of the things that accompany October when it finally rolls in. Perhaps none are as eagerly anticipated by Aiken dog lovers as Downtown Dog’s Annual HOWL-O-WEEN Parade and Costume Contest! 

As expected, Aiken's pets and their people go all out with creative costumes. After all, the best costume awards are on the line! Aikenites are creative, competitive and love to have a good time. 

Downtown Dog puts on the dog for their HOWL-O-WEEN Parade as they do for every event. They make sure that plenty of water and goodies are on hand for the parade and that each participant goes home with a special Halloween bag full of homemade, healthy treats.

Speaking of homemade treats, Downtown Dog will have a great selection of festive Halloween goodies all month to ensure that every Aiken dog can enjoy their trick or treat.

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, October 28th at 4 p.m. on Laurens Street in downtown Aiken and is not to be missed! Downtown Dog will accept a $10 donation to benefit the rescue work of Team Stinkykiss for each participating pet.
