Howl-O-Ween

A Day of Spooky Fun for People & Pets

Join us at the Edmonton Humane Society for a family and pet-friendly Halloween celebration! This is more than just a Halloween event — it’s a time to highlight community, compassion and the joy animals bring into our lives.

This event is free to attend! Consider bringing an item such as toys and non-perishable pet-related items to help us “Stuff-A-Van” for animals in our care. For details on supplies that we can and can’t accept, visit our Gift in Kind Item Wish List.
