Howloween is a Halloween-themed furmeet turned mini-convention held in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada near the Vancouver International Airport.
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 took residence at The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia from 2011-2021. In 2022, the event moved to the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia. The event includes furry themed games, panels, competitions, entertainment, an Artist Alley, and a dance, with the event catering to an all-ages target audience. A previous tradition of the event was an unofficial after-party involving Fursuit bowling at Revs Bowling Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia.
