Have you ever attended a Halloween dog parade before? Whether your answer is yes or no, you shouldn’t miss this opportunity to have extra fun with your pets to celebrate Halloween this year.

Tompkins Square announces an official coming-back with their most anticipated activity of the year - the Halloween Dog Parade.

This event is one of the most famous occasions in the dog community for sure. Your dog would be so sad and jealous of other dogs if he/she can’t join the parade this year. So why don’t you make this Halloween more special with a trip to Tompkins and get you and your dog a slot at the event immediately?

The Halloween Dog Parade is an annual fundraising activity to maintain the traditional dog run of Tompkins Square Park. Luckily, the event turned out to be very successful. And over 30 years, it’s still the most exciting Halloween activity in the dog community.

According to CNN, Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade is the biggest dog parade in the US, boasting over 200 costumed dogs and 2000 spectators.

Last year, Tompkins Square celebrated its 30th anniversary and 1st virtual dog parade version due to the pandemic.

With the current situation, the 31st Halloween Dog Parade will be back on October 23rd at 2:00 p.m. and a new place - East River. Since insurance issues in 2018, they moved the event place from Tompkins to East River Amphitheater this year.

If you want your dog to be a part of the fun, you should prepare a lot for both of you guys. Your dogs can’t enter the parade without costumes or accessories on. And you want everyone to know that cute buddies belong to you, then you need to wear something to help everyone else recognize that.

So, here are the few essential things for you and your dog to join the Halloween Dog Parade impressively and win something in return.

• Dog Costumes

This parade is the best chance for your dogs or you to express their cutest, sexiest, most attractive appearance to the biggest dog community. So, to make sure your dog will score, you should pick the most pretty yet suitable costume for your dog. And don’t forget some tips follow:

• Measure your dog correctly to choose the fittest costume.
• Pick dog costume material ideal for outdoor activities and the weather.
• Avoid fur or leather costumes that easily irritated or increase your dog’s temperature.

• Dog Accessories

Not every dog “agrees” to dress up. Some of them might even have aggressive reactions to colorful, strange design costumes. So, the best alternative is to get them a personalized bandana which is very unique, personal but still attractive.

• Dog Supplies:

You guys may be out for hours; hence you should bring some water, treats, or dog food to refill your buddies’ energy. Since they will have to walk for a longer time than usual, you should ensure your dogs won’t suffer dehydration or exhaustion due to being hyperactive during the event.

Attending to the biggest parade of the country and you don't wear anything special and stand-out would be a serious omission.  

Luckily, no matter how costumes can fashion you up differently, the following personalized t-shirts on which is your favorite four-paw buddies and their name, will make you appear even better than you can even imagine in a very simple way.

If you want to stand out among hundreds of dogs and dog owners, bringing one of these personalized flags will help you the best. You can either hold it in your hand or wear it as a cap and proudly walk next to your furry pals.
