SAN RAMON, CALIFORNIA – City Center Bishop Ranch is going full Howl-O-Ween in San Ramon this month, and your four-legged best friend is invited.
The headline event
At 2 pm on Sunday, Oct. 26, costumed pets and their humans will parade through Alexander Square for the City Center Howl-O-Ween Costumed Pet Parade. Expect sweet treats from George, the on-site pet boutique, plus a Halloween-themed selfie station for photos. Organizers say the parade runs 2–3 pm in the heart of the center at 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd.
The Bay Area Telegraph has visited before, and we can confirm it’s a very cute event! Our own Bay Area Telegraph Test Dog, Lance, might even make an appearance!
Extras on the square
Before and during the parade, The Hub by Pack Animals is popping up in Alexander Square with a mini obstacle course and a ball-pit sniff patch. It is designed as a quick, confidence-building romp that most dogs can try between laps around the plaza.
After-party for pups
The Hub is also extending the fun from 1–5 pm inside its City Center location, with haunted obstacle adventures, a supersized sniff patch, professional pet photography, and trick-for-treat training. If your dog enjoys puzzles and nose-work, this is the part you will not want to miss.
