Atlanta’s Dog Howl-O-Ween Festival Moving to Peachtree Corners for 2025

The Rescue Dog Games, Atlanta’s best Dog Howl-O-Ween Festival, is coming to Peachtree Corners this fall. Co-sponsored and hosted by the city, the family- (and pet)-friendly festival will be held on November 1 on the Town Green from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The community is invited to come out and celebrate the joy of pet adoption and getting outside to play with your four-legged friends. The festival will feature the annual Halloween dog costume contest, a dog-lure chase, dog game stations, the Bone Bar, live demonstrations, vendor booths and more. There will also be adoptable dogs from local shelters and rescues, a kids play area and fun giveaways.

Why it matters

Every year, thousands of pets in our area need loving homes. This festival raises awareness about the importance of pet adoption and helps connect rescue groups with families ready to open their hearts — and homes — to a new furry friend.

The event also highlights the powerful, healing bond between dogs and their humans. From unconditional love to everyday companionship, dogs can enrich our lives in countless ways.

“Creating time to play, bond and simply be with a dog is not only joyful — it’s deeply meaningful,” said festival founder Jill Waddell in a recent release about the 2025 event. “Rescue Dog Games gives you a fabulous day of play with your dog!”

• The Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Contest and Dog Trick Contest 
• On-site pet adoptions from local shelters and rescues 
• Vendor marketplace with pet products and treats
