The Village Halloween Parade is fun and all, but does it have a plethora of puppies in adorable outfits? For that, you’ll have to head to this annual dog parade held this year on Saturday, October 19. The getups are remarkably elaborate and conceptual—no surprise given the prizes up for grabs for Best in Show.
This year's parade will take place from 1-3pm. Though the exact parade route hasn't been announced, it typically runs on Avenue B from E. 6th Street to E. 14th Street, with staging on E. 7th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. Follow along on the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run's Instagram account for more info as the date approaches.
Whether you're competing to be top dog or just watching from the sidelines, this canine contest can't be missed. Here's the list of last year's winners for inspiration.
