Written By: Robert Cox

RYE BROOK, N.Y. (October 25, 2025) — The Village of Rye Brook and the Humane Society of Westchester are teaming up for Howl-o-ween in the Park, a family-friendly dog costume contest and parade set for Saturday at Pine Ridge Park.

The event runs from 10:30 a.m. to noon, featuring a parade at 11:45 a.m. where costumed canines can vie for prizes in categories highlighting the best outfits.

Does your dog have its Howl-o-ween costume ready?” organizers ask. “This fun contest is always a great time for all – and prizes for the best costumes!”

No pre-registration is required, and non-dog owners are encouraged to attend. “Don’t have a dog? Come anyway to enjoy the fun!” the event description notes.

Attendees can expect a selfie station, entertainment and adoptable dogs from the Humane Society of Westchester available to meet and potentially adopt. The parade will spotlight the organization’s adoptable dogs in costume.

For those interested in supporting the Humane Society of Westchester, the HSW Wish List is accessible online.

Sustainable Westchester staff will be on hand to field resident questions about the Westchester Power program, the default electric supplier for Rye Brook, including details on current and future fixed rates and how to opt out.
