Each year, New York attracts more spectators than it can handle to witness the country’s largest Halloween Dog Run as a part of the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. The event takes place at the East River Park Amphitheater, usually on Saturday from 12 pm to 3 pm.

Area merchants gladly participate in this fascinating association renewal fundraiser as all the money raised by the entrance to the park, go to the Department of Parks & Recreation of NYC.

There is no need to pre-register in runway competition, you just come and enjoy your time. After the run, spectators can enjoy the amusing parade of contestants.

Lovely small or big pooches can be dressed up like the Statue of Liberty, a policeman, hot-dog or an iconic yellow taxi. There is even a dog in a kissing booth during each Halloween Dog Parade.
