Chilliwack resident to host Halloween market for fellow dog lovers this October

Aug 23, 2026 | 10:34 AM

CHILLIWACK — A local business is inviting residents – and their furry friends – to a howling good time this upcoming spooky season.

The Howl-O-Ween Halloween Market is coming to Fairfield Island on Saturday, October 24. Dog lovers can expect a full day of exploring local businesses and crafters while enjoying live music and concessions from food vendors, as well as take part in a Best Dressed Dog contest for the chance to win a prize.

“I just wanted to create a community event that was something that I would want to go to if I was a vendor too,” said Nicole Weber, organizer and founder of ChocoPup. 

“ChocoPup was created with dogs at the heart of everything we do, so hosting a community event where people can bring their dogs and enjoy a day together was a natural fit.”
