About the experience
Halloween in New York City is a spectacle like no other, with its iconic parades and extravagant costumes. But amidst the ghouls and goblins, there's an event that stands out for its sheer adorableness—the New York City Halloween Dog Parade. The nation’s largest canine costume contest will return with its very own parade route.
In previous years, about 350 registered “dog-testants” have stretched out at the starting line in getups like Dog Bezos and his rocket ship, the Dog-bamas, and even a lantern fly. If you're a dog lover or simply looking for some heartwarming Halloween fun, don't miss this iconic event.
How to Attend the Halloween Dog Parade:
The parade is free and open to the public! Even if you don't have a pup to dress up, the NYC Halloween Dog Parade is a fantastic event to attend as a spectator. We suggest bringing warm layers, snacks for you and your dog, and a fully charged phone to take lots of photos throughout the event!

Note: To participate in the parade, your pup requires advanced registration and a ticket. Spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Official Registration opens October 6. Find more information here.
