Get ready for our 11th Annual Bark Dog Costume Competition on Tuesday, October 29!

This year, we’re switching things up! Instead of 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 at the park between 6:00 and 6:30. You can also sign-up your pup ahead of time using this form. If you sign up ahead of time, please check in when you get to the park between 6:00 and 6:30 to check-in.

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