15th annual Halloween dog costume party

Fifteen years of paws-itively spooky fun! 

Since our first Seminole Heights Dog Pack Halloween Party, we’ve seen costumes that were fur-ociously creative and others that were a little ruff around the edges, but every one of them left us howling with delight. This year, we’re unleashing something new: our first-ever costume contest, with nine categories of “Best Costume” up for grabs. So dig through the closet, fetch your pup’s finest look, and get ready to strut your mutt! It’s going to be a beast of a good time.

Halloween Dog Costume Contest Categories:

• Best human-dog matching costume

• Best original human-dog matching costume

• Best dog costume

• Best Unique dog costume

• Best no costume

• Best worst costume

• Best worst human-dog matching costume

• Best retail store costume

• Best worst retail store costume

The party is on Saturday, October 31, 2026 begins at 9:30 AM. We meet at the Henry and Ola Dog Park at 501 West Henry Avenue Tampa, FL 33604 from there we take a leisurely walk to Epps Park where the festivities take place. If you’d like to go directly to Epps Park it’s located at W. Fern St., Tampa, FL 33604 but please do not arrive earlier than 9:45 AM.
