The Dagerpaatch is returning to make your spookiest dreams come true, and it’s bigger and better than ever!

In 2023, we’ve teamed up with Explore Burnaby and PADS (Pacific Assistance Dogs Society) to bring you treats, tricks and, most importantly, puppies!

This year, the ‘Paatch supports the PADS, which supports people with disabilities and community care providers by partnering them with certified assistance dogs.

Join us from 12 to 7 pm on October 28 and 29 for pumpkin carving, costume contests, burgers by Between 2 Buns Burgers, and the Appalachian folk music of The Hill Bettys. You’ll also be treated to a meet and greet with PADS puppies. We might need to change our name to Dogeraad…

The Hill Betty’s – Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 5 pm
Between 2 Buns – Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 5 pm

Pumpkins will be available by donation to PADS, with patterns and tools provided. $1 from each Burnabarian sold will also go to support PADS’ vital services.

This is one of many events taking place for the Burnaby Halloween Festival 2023. For more information on the festival, visit burnabyhalloween.com.
