Join Us for a Spooky Good Time!
The Spooky Season Community Festival, hosted by Mutt-Made Miracles, is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween while supporting the community! We have a jam-packed event with activities for the whole family, including carnival games, a Dog Costume Contest, Pumpkin Carving & Painting Competitions, and an incredible vendor lineup.
Funds raised will directly support a scholarship at the University of New Mexico (UNM), as well as other future initiatives. We aim to help build a bigger, better community while creating meaningful change. By supporting this event, you contribute to programs that empower students, entrepreneurs, and the local community to grow and thrive.
