Description
In true Hagerstown spirit, the last Saturday of October is "Mummer's Day," a day for dressing in costume or disguise. Join us for the 5th Annual Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Parade at Hagerstown's premier dog park, located at Fairgrounds Park, 351 N. Cleveland Ave. Hagerstown, MD 21740.
Event kicks off at 11:00 am with pet-friendly treats and vendors, nine prize categories, and more. The event is scheduled rain or shine on Saturday, October 28, 2017.
Check-in for the parade begins at 10:30 am. All canine participants must be up to date on all vaccinations to be eligible to participate and accompanied by an adult. Sign up online for $5 here, or register on-site at the event for $7.
Parade contestants will receive an ID badge upon check-in, then will form the parade line-up in numerical order by category prior to the parade's scheduled start time: 11:30 a.m.
After all contestants have walked the red carpet, judges will tally their scores as the winners are identified. MEANWHILE, enjoy the Red-Carpet Trick-Off where each dog has 45 seconds to showcase his-or her most amazing tricks, for a chance to win additional prizes, and local fame! And a short and sweet "bobbing for hotdogs" eating contest on the red carpet as well, just before the winners are announced! (space is limited for red carpet activities during the tallying of the judges scores.)
Will be collecting on site product donations to help enrich the lives of thousands of animals who receive shelter annually from the Humane Society of Washington County.
For help with registration, call the City of Hagerstown Parks & Recreation office Monday-Friday between 8am-4pm at (301)739-8577x170 or email parks&rec@hagerstownmd.org.
