Savannah's annual family and pet-friendly trick-or-treating event is back!

Despite the passing of local business woman and event creator, Sara Portman, this year's event will be held this year on October 24 & 25. Portman recently succumbed to her battle with lung cancer before she could see Wag-O-Weenโ€™s 15th year fulfilled, but her friends at The Hipster Hound and Renegade Paws Rescue are taking over this yearโ€™s preparations per her wishes.

The 15th annual Wag-O-Ween will be a family and pet-friendly fundraising event taking place in Downtown Savannah and attracting over 1,000 participants with their furry friends. Humans and animals alike will dress up in Halloween costumes and follow their event maps to over 100 businesses giving out dog treats and goodies. There will also be a costume contest, raffle, and photography stations as part of the event.

Because of COVID-19, Wag-O-Ween will take place over two days this year on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25 from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. to allow for fewer crowds each day. All human participants will also be required to wear face coverings at all times during the event per city ordinance.

In addition, the registration and pick-up process will be completely streamlined this year. Participants can register and donate ahead of time on the Wag-O-Ween website at www.wagoween.org. During the week of the event, participants can pick up their supplies at multiple locations throughout Savannah including establishments in Habersham Village, Sandfly, and Isle of Hope.To learn more about Wag-O-Ween registration, locations, and sponsorship opportunities, visit the Wag-O-Ween website at www.wagoween.org. The website will be updated frequently as more details are determined closer to the event.

In honor of Sara Portman, the new organizers have established the Sara Portman Community Fund. A portion of the proceeds from this yearโ€™s Wag-O-Ween and all future events will go to this fund for community spay/neutering, education, and more. The remaining money raised will continue to support local animal rescues in their mission to place animals in โ€œfureverโ€ homes and support community education efforts.
