Fairmont Washington, D.C., Georgetown is inviting friends and neighbors to stop by with their canine companions for Howl-O-Ween Trick or Treating with Puppy Kisses on Tuesday, October 30 in the hotel’s courtyard between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Prizes, such as overnight stays, dinners and more, will be awarded to costumed dogs (with their people!). Categories include most creative, most adorable and funniest.
All dogs will be pawsatively treated to peanut butter doggie biscuits created by the Fairmont’s pastry team, and canine coolers will be strategically placed throughout the courtyard. Humans will enjoy Flying Dog Dogtober Fest Beers for only $5, and an available cash bar.
A “Puppy Kissing Booth” will allow guests to give and receive some love from the visiting puppies, all currently being raised by volunteer puppy raisers for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, with the goal of one day becoming a guide dog for a person with vision loss. Although Fairmont’s Howl-O-Ween Trick or Treating is free and open to the public, donations for puppy kisses will go to Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s Puppy Raising Program.
Those attending are asked to enter through the M Street walkway straight into the courtyard.
