October 25, 2026 - 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
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 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 in our courtyard while sipping your favorite beverages.
To make the evening even more exciting, we will host a Costume Contest. Dress up your dog in its spookiest or cutest attire to win some fang-tastic prizes! There will be plenty of fun for pets and humans, including special Halloween-themed treats and surprises. 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!
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.
We are delighted that the talented local illustrator Alexandra Schmeling will be part of the event to commemorate Café du Paws Halloween with a portrait of your pup.
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!
