Harry Caray’s Tavern on Navy Pier invites you to celebrate spooky season this year with your pet in tow. Join us Saturday, October 26th from 4pm-5pm for our annual Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest benefiting PAWS Chicago!
Whether they’re furry, feathered, or full of scales – this year, all pets are welcome to participate in this fun-filled contest and compete for a chance to win in one of the following categories:
- Most Creative
- Cutest
- Spookiest
- Best Ensemble or Pair (human/pet or pet pairs)
- Grand Prize “Best in Show”
Winners in each category will take home fang-tastic prizes including:
- A pair of tickets for a dog-friendly ride on the SeaDog speedboat (courtesy of City Cruises)
- Two tickets for Flyover (Courtesy of Flyover)
- Passes for the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel (courtesy of Navy Pier)
- A gift certificate to Harry Caray’s Tavern, and more!
The Grand Prize winner for “Best in Show” will receive a Navy Pier Stay-Cation Package, complete with a one-night stay at the Sable Hotel, breakfast for two at Lirica, dinner at Harry Caray’s Tavern, and more.
Hosting the fur-ightfully fun event is none other than Candace Jordan, returning as our paw-some emcee and one of three judges for the contest. Entry is just $10 per pet, with all proceeds going to PAWS Chicago. Spectators—both human and pet—can attend for free! For every Boston Beer product purchased at Harry Caray’s Tavern on October 26th, Boston Beer will donate $1 to PAWS Chicago.
Sponsored by Boston Beer, The Sable Hotel & Lirica, SeaDog by City Cruises, Navy Pier, Harry Caray’s Tavern, and Flyover, this event is sure to be a tail-wagging good time for a great cause!
