The next Clematis Paws gathering has a date, and this time the block is dressing up.

We got rained out in September, so we are coming back Halloween style. On Friday, October 23, the HOWL-o-Ween Party brings the pack back to the 300 block of Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. From 4:00 to 7:00 PM, dogs, their people, local businesses, and neighbors can meet us at 309 Clematis Street for a playful Halloween afternoon at street level.

It is free and dog-friendly. RSVP on Eventbrite so we know you are coming, and find everything in one place on the HOWL-o-Ween event page.

The details

  • When: Friday, October 23, 2026 · 4:00–7:00 PM
  • Where: 309 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach
  • The block: Between Olive Avenue and Dixie Highway
  • Admission: Free. See the Eventbrite listing for current registration and participation details.

What is waiting on the block

The party brings the Clematis Paws idea to life with a mini pop-up dog park, the Pawparazzi photo booth, Halloween photo ops, Doggy Glam, DIY dog bandanas, and treats, samples and giveaways. Costumes are encouraged, so get those pup costumes ready.

Come for the costumes, stay for the introductions, and take a little time to discover the businesses around you.

Who you will meet

Local pet businesses and community partners are joining us on the block, including All Four Paws of Florida, Clematis Animal Clinic, Conquer the Digital Empire, D is for Dog, Dezzy’s Second Chance Animal Rescue, and Jill Brammer Photography. We are still confirming participating businesses and activities, and we will share more as they are confirmed.

Oliver is reporting for pumpkin duty

Our Director of Fun and Mischief has already selected his uniform.

Oliver takes finding the best toys, greeting every new friend, and keeping the humans on their toes very seriously. If you hear little paws coming your way, that is probably him looking for his next adventure, or a treat. Riri and Zoey will be on welcome duty too. Meet the pack.

Made with the neighborhood

The HOWL-o-Ween Party is hosted by Clematis Paws in collaboration with the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, and sponsored by DDEC.

That collaboration matters. Clematis Paws was created around a simple idea: a small piece of the street can become a place where dogs play, people talk, and local businesses become part of the memory.

Before you arrive

Dogs must remain leashed and under the supervision of their owners throughout the event. Please bring only dogs that are comfortable in a public setting around other dogs, people, costumes, and event activity.

A few things that make the afternoon easier: water for the walk over, a leash you trust, and a costume your dog is actually comfortable in.

Check the Eventbrite listing before the event for the latest registration and participation details.

Costumes ready. Treat radar on. We will see you on Clematis Street.
