Get ready for the 11th & Bark Annual Bark Dog Costume Competition on Wednesday, October 29!

This year, we’re switching things up! Instead of holding the event at the dog park, our friends at Buddy’s DC are hosting us this year as part of their Pups on the Patio event.

What’s new this year:

• Better lighting for all those adorable costume photos

• Fun doggie giveaways

• Raffles with exciting big-ticket prizes

• The event won’t conflict with your Friday night Halloween plans

Categories: Each dog can participate in up to 2 categories

• Best Human & Dog Combo

• Scariest Dog Costume

• Cutest Dog Costume

• Most Original Dog Costume

Prizes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category will receive a ribbon and bragging rights

Sign-up: You can sign-up online using this form anytime before 5:00 PM the day of the event. You can also sign-up at Buddy’s between 6:00 and 7:00PM. The competition begins at 7:00 sharp. If you pre-register, please check-in when you arrive at the event.

Note: Feel free to bring your non-costumed dog to the event. All dogs – costumed or not – have to be leashed during the event.
