🎟️ A NOTE ABOUT TICKETS

NYCGriffs events are completely self-funded, and ticket sales go directly toward making our meetups as fun and special as possible for our Griffon community. Early ticket sales help us plan our budget for things like the venue, photography, refreshments, prizes, and all the little extras that make the day memorable.

The earlier we know our turnout, the more we can plan for maximum fun! If you're planning to join us, please don't delay in securing your tickets.

🐾 WHO CAN ATTEND?

This meetup is dedicated to our Brussels Griffon community and is exclusively for Brussels Griffons, with same-household pup siblings and Affenpinscher friends also welcome.

NYC has tons of amazing dog-friendly Halloween events, but this one is all about bringing our Griffon community together for a celebration of our favorite pups.

A note about little humans: Children under 10 are permitted but must be closely supervised at all times so that everyone—two-legged and four-legged—can enjoy the event safely.
