Cafe du Paws Halloween | Dog Happy Hour

Join us at Cafe du Paws in our Courtyard for a tail-wagging good time with your furry friends during our Dog Happy Hour! Join us for a Spook-tacular Café du Paws Halloween | Dog Happy Hour! Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 25, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., as the Café du Parc terrace transforms into a paw-some Halloween celebration for you and your furry friends! Bring your pups in their best costumes and enjoy a howling good time on our outdoor terrace while sipping your favorite beverages. To make the afternoon even more exciting, we will host a Costume Contest, so dress up your dog in their spookiest, silliest, or cutest attire — and don't forget a costume yourself! Please see the agenda for details and register for the contest by 2:45 p.m. on the event day. Coordinated costumes featuring multiple dogs may be entered together as one costume entry, though each participating dog requires a ticket. And there are prizes worth dressing up for! Costume Contest winners will have the chance to take home some seriously special treats, including an overnight stay at Willard InterContinental, a dog-friendly dining experience at Café du Parc, a relaxing experience at The Willard Spa, and more. Plus, our friends at DoozyDog! Club will have fantastic gifts for all dogs! There will be plenty of fun for both pets and humans, including special Halloween-themed treats and surprises, and we are delighted that talented local illustrator Alexandra Schmeling will be part of the event to commemorate Café du Paws Halloween with a portrait of your pup. And don't miss a chance to be a part of our Costume Parade in front of Willard InterContinental! Best of all, your pup's ticket helps give back: $10 from every ticket donated to the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA). Humans attend free. HRA is a DC-based organization that advocates for animals and supports the connection between people and pets to save more lives and keep families together. So grab your pup, get creative with your costumes, and join us for an afternoon of Halloween fun, festive treats, and giving back to dogs in our community. We can't wait to celebrate with you and your four-legged companions!
