On Sunday, October 18, 2015, Hornblower Cruises & Events will host it’s seventh annual Bow Wow Brunch Cruise to benefit the Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC), a local nonprofit that provides care and comfort to orphaned and injured animals. On this special day each year, dogs are welcomed aboard to enjoy a fun-filled Halloween-themed brunch cruise with their owners. Canine costumes encouraged.

Bow Wow Brunch is just like the weekly Sunday Champagne Brunch Cruise, but on October 18, 2015, Hornblower Cruises & Events welcomes families and their favorite canines aboard. Guests will enjoy a delicious and bountiful buffet with unlimited champagne (for humans 21+) and desserts. But, “Fido” gets a pet buffet to choose from along with a dog relief area set up on the sun deck of the yacht. A portion of the proceeds from the Bow Wow Brunch on the Bay will go directly to helping the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Special guests, include Bow Wow Ambassadors Mark and Chopper the Biker Dog.
