Tompkins Square Dog Run, photographed by New York Dearest

Folks flood Tompkins Square Park's Dog Run with their pups dressed in ridiculously cute costumes.

Yup, Tompkins Square throws an annual Halloween parade in NYC for dogs and it’s just as adorable as it sounds! Returning for its 34th year in 2024, pups are encouraged to participate and there is no entry fee or registration needed. All you need to do is dress Fido up and arrive early.

The parade last year ran on Avenue B from 12th to 7th Streets, and it’s safe to assume there will be a similar route this year. There are prizes too, so expect dogs in unique costumes that will leave you scrambling for a picture.
