Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade 2026

The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade is back this fall, marking its 36th year on Saturday, October 17!

This year's event will feature a parade and a limited-entry costume competition. Advance registration is required to participate in both.

The parade is expected to begin mid-morning, but the exact time, route, and spectator locations will be announced soon.

Registration is required for pups marching in the parade, but it’s free to watch!
