Dog Halloween Costume Contests 2020

Does your pup have an adorable Halloween costume lined up for this year? Just because we are stuck inside for the Pandemic doesn’t mean your dog can’t show it off! Here are our 3 favorite Annual Dog Halloween Costume Contests that are going virtual this year.

Virtual Dog Halloween Costume Contests:

1 – The Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade

CNN calls this annual dog parade “the largest dog costume parade in the world.” Every year, some of the cutest and most creative costumes compete for thousands of dollars in prizes. The parade is going virtual this year and the event is free to attend. There is no need to pre-register your pup. Just simply log-in to join the celebration! Click the link above to learn more.

Date and Time: Saturday, October 24th, 2020 between 12:00 – 3:00 pm

2 – Astoria’s Pumpkins and Pups Instagram Contest

One of our favorite, local Astoria Charities, Just the Small Stuff, will be hosting a Dog Halloween Costume Contest via Instagram. All proceeds of the contest will be benefitting Indigenous Women and the Adabi Healing Shelter. Simply follow @just_the_small_stuff on Instagram and tag them in your Dog’s Halloween Costume Photo. Then send them a copy of your donation. Some of Astoria’s local favorite shops, including Lockwood and Chateau Le Woof, will be handing out prizes to the winners!

Winners will be Chosen: on Saturday, October 24th, 2020
