About this event
The world's largest Halloween dog parade returns for its 36th year, with hundreds of costumed dogs marching through the East Village and a festival block alongside it for pups who missed a marching spot. Run by the New York Dog Parade nonprofit, October being adopt-a-shelter-dog month.
Why we picked it
One of New York's most photographed free spectacles, and the only one where the performers are dachshunds in costume.
Free entry
