Pup-Lovers Rejoice: A Dog Costume Party Comes to The Bentway This “Howl’oween!”

The Bentway invites dogs and their owners to celebrate Halloween the canine way on Saturday, October 26th

If The Bentway’s local neighbourhoods of Liberty Village, Fort York and CityPlace have something in common (besides condo-living!) it’s the passionate community of dog-lovers, with many locals choosing The Bentway as their go-to dog park (@dogsofthebentway unite!). Inspired by the Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Parade in New York City, The Bentway is proud to present “Howl’oween” at The Bentway on Saturday, October 26th.

The Bentway and Bark ‘N Yapp invite local dogs (and their owners, of course!) to participate in a site-wide costumed pup-parade - complete with loot bags, prizes, treats and local vendors. After the parade, puppy partiers are encouraged to stick around for drinks and games at the licensed Howl’oween “Yappy Hour.”

Howl’oween will award prizes for the best canine costumes in the small, medium and large dog categories, with a special bonus “Miss Congeniality” prize for the happiest dog of the day. Judges for the costume competition include CP24’s Gurdeep Ahluwalia and meteorologist Bill Coulter.

Howl’oween is free of charge. Registration is required for participation in the parade. Food and drink will be available for purchase.

About The Bentway

The Bentway works “to ignite the urban imagination”, using the city as site, subject, and canvas.

Anchored under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and guiding its complex future, The Bentway is a growing public space, and much more. The Bentway is a new type of civic organization: a not-for-profit, powered by vital partnerships with the City of Toronto, residents, supporters, artists, city-builders, and dreamers. The Bentway is a catalyst rooted in experimentation, leading a creative movement to re-imagine the opportunities of urban spaces. Phase 1 of The Bentway opened in 2018 and is already a vital public space, backyard park, cultural platform, connector for the western Waterfront corridor and a demonstration of what is possible.
