Franklin's Friends Howl-O-Ween

Join us for the 13th Annual HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon & Canine Costume Contest! Join Franklin's Friends on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Cranes Roost Park in Uptown Altamonte for the 13th Annual HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest!

This beloved Central Florida tradition brings together pets and their people for a morning filled with fun, community, and philanthropy. Enjoy a dog walk, canine costume contest, adoptable dogs, pet-friendly vendors, music, food trucks, raffles, and more, all while supporting local animal welfare.

Thanks to the generosity of our participants, sponsors, and supporters, last year's HOWL-O-WEEN raised more than $48,000 to help pets throughout Central Florida. Join us this year and help make an even bigger impact!
