KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The University of Tennessee Gardens were home to many dogs dressed up in their Halloween costumes for a puppy parade on Sunday. This was because of Howl-O-Ween, an annual Knoxville event that brings pet owners from across East Tennessee.

Dog owners were preparing for weeks before the event.

“We order the costumes about a month ahead of time and normally it takes just a couple minutes to throw it on because they love dressing up,” said Caroline Williams, who’s dogs were dressed up as the Incredibles.

The event also gave pet-focused local businesses a chance to meet new customers.

“It’s huge for me because the more sales I get, the more I get to help the dogs in my community,” owner of Rainbow Recreations Bryanna Darling said.
