Howloween is a Halloween-themed furmeet held in Burnaby, British Columbia, about 10 minutes east of Vancouver, Canada.
Originally held annually around Halloween at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn & Convention Centre from 2003-2006, it was then moved to the Compass Point Inn from 2008-2010, and has currently taken up residence at The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre. As more of a furry-themed event than a full-fledged convention, Howloween does not have a specific dealers den or art show, but there are many available tables and chairs in the event area which takes up two halls in the hotel. The event includes furry themed games, panels, competitions, entertainment, and dance with an all-ages target audience. An ongoing tradition of the event is an unofficial after-party involving Fursuit bowling at Revs Bowling Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia.
