20th annual JP Canine Costume Parade

At noon on Saturday, Oct. 26, costumed canines (and their human fans) will gather in Jamaica Plain for the annual canine costume parade featuring a red carpet, prizes for best-dressed dog, live music and special guests. (Word on Centre Street is that Time Out editor and JP resident Jackie Cain is among the judges!) The parade begins at First Baptist Church at 633 Centre St. at 1pm. Register your dog for just $10, and the funds raised will go to the City of Boston Animal Shelter. Registration starts at noon for the 1pm parade. The red carpet contest happens at the Loring Greenough House beginning around 1:30pm.
