The costume contest is close to being full! Pre-registration is strongly recommended if you want to participate. If all 30 spots are filled prior to event day, on-site registration WILL NOT be accepted.

Costume Contest

Test out your pet's Halloween costume early at the Paws in the Park Costume Contest! The costume contest is open to everyone, and pre-registration is recommended. We will be awarding prizes for:

• Spookiest Costume

• Funniest Costume

• Most Creative Costume

• Best in Show (chosen from winners of other three categories)

Registration is a $25 donation to the AWLA. Space is limited.

On-site registration will be accepted until 12:30 p.m. on the day of the event IF SPACE ALLOWS. If all 30 spots are filled prior to event day, on-site registration WILL NOT be accepted.

Winners will be determined by a committee, and best in show will be determined by audience applause.

Contestants should arrive at the main stage no later than 1:15 p.m. to check in. The costume contest will take place around 1:30 p.m. Humans are welcome to dress up with their animals, but it's not required.

While we love all animals, this event is only appropriate for pets that are comfortable in crowds and with other pets. For the safety of all attendees, pets and human, all pets must be on non-extendable leashes that are 6 feet or shorter (or other species appropriate equipment).

Each category winner will receive a pet-themed basket filled with loads of goodies!
