Howl-o-ween Pet Parade

Salem is going to the dogs (and cats and lizards and bunnies), and we couldn’t be happier about it! 

Salem Main Streets is pleased to announce the return of the annual Howl-o-ween Pet Parade! The pet parade will return to Derby Wharf on Saturday, Oct. 12th at 11 am, with the usual fun, costumes, and contest with prizes.

We ask all parade participants to register online in advance if possible. We request a small donation of $5 for Salem residents and $10 for non-residents. All proceeds go directly to Salem Main Streets in support of special community programs (like this one!) all year round.

Advance registration is now closed!

On-site registration starts at 11 am on Saturday on Derby Wharf. Cash is preferred, Venmo is possible.

The parade kicks off around 11:30.

The 2024 Howl-o-ween Pet Parade is supported by lead sponsors Salem Bespoke Boutique, Blackcraft, Witch City Walking Tours, as well as Annie’s Asian Mart, Wolf Next Door Coffee, The Lobster Shanty, Koto, Die With Your Boots On, All Creatures Veterinary Hospital, Circle of Stitches, Pet Medic Peabody, Canine Collaborative, Partridge In a Bear Tree, Pup Club, Salem Witch Museum, Emporium 32, A&A Services, Betts Shower Glass and Mirror, Kakawa Chocolate House, Wicked Good Books, Couch Dog Brewing Company, Village Tavern, Hawthorne Hotel, and King Lewis Engraving and Gifts.
