Everyone’s favorite Halloween-themed Dog “Pawty” Returns to Playhouse Village Park on Saturday, October 14 from 11AM to 2PM.

Playhouse Village invites dogs and their owners to celebrate Halloween and have a howling good time at the annual Bark in the Park: Howl-o-ween on Saturday, October 14 from 11 am to 2 pm at Playhouse Village Park. This free spooktacular event presented by Playhouse Village Foundation features a costume parade and contests with prizes, treat stations & pup bites, photo-ops, pet caricatures, and more fun activities for dogs and their humans.

Dress up your pup in their Halloween best for a Paw-rade around Playhouse Village, a Pasadena Walktober featured event. After the mini parade, the fun continues at Playhouse Village Park with Bark in the Park celebration. Photo opportunities abound in Playhouse Village Park and furry friends will be delighted with special treats and activities from Healthy Spot and Mr. Pasadena. Tap into the glorious mystery of the doggie brain with a tarot card reading specifically for dogs by Archetype Yoga, or show off your dog’s best moves at the Trick for Treat stage by Pasadena Playhouse, or even have your pup join you for a dog yoga session with Anytime Fitness. Capture the moment with a special caricature of your pet drawn by an artist, courtesy of Playhouse Village Foundation. Families can also create their own dog-themed crafts with Southern California Children’s Museum and Drawn2Art Pasadena. Anaya’s Restaurant will debut their “Man’s Best Friend Combo,” a gourmet taco for humans paired with a special pup taco for your furry best friend, available for purchase during the event. Anaya’s will also be serving up complimentary pup-tinis for a Halloween Yappy Hour.
