Barktober at Tanger Columbus

Barktober brings a Halloween celebration perfect for dog-loving families at Tanger Outlets Columbus. This sixth annual event invites you and your pup to enjoy costumes, activities, and shopping—all while supporting the Humane Society of Delaware County. Highlights include a costume contest for pets and owners (top five winners receive gift cards and goodie bags), photo opportunities to show off your dog's best look, doggie crafts, and special treats called Pup Cups. To enter the costume contest, you'll register at the event and make a donation to the Humane Society of Delaware County, which you can pay with cash or card on-site. Beyond the contest, you can browse the outlet shops with your furry friend and enjoy various treats. Costumes are encouraged for everyone, and all proceeds benefit local animal welfare. It's a fun autumn outing that combines holiday spirit, shopping, and a good cause.
