The 5th Annual Doggone Halloween Costume Parade sponsored by the Downtown Boston BID is a pawfect opportunity for canines and humans to show their festive sides! The parade is on Monday, October 29th from noon to 2 pm.

Please bring your dog on leash and only bring dogs who can get along with other dogs and be OK with a crowd. This event will take place in a gated area in Downtown Crossing. Water will be available for dogs. It is recommended you try to have your dog go to the bathroom before coming to the parade.
