Beyond the dazzling costumes, there was no shortage of fun to be had. We made sure both two-legged and four-legged attendees had plenty to celebrate!

People in costumes walk dogs in a park. A woman pushes a stroller with a dog in a red bus outfit. Festive and lively atmosphere. — Would it really be Howl-O-Ween without a costume parade?

The Costume Parade and Contest: A Howling Success!

Our costume parade and costume contest were major hits! What better way to celebrate ten years of community than watching pups (and their parents) proudly strut their stuff? Westminster, who? Houston Bark Park and Daycare's Howl -O-Ween costume parade was the dog show of the year!

The competition was fierce and the crowd made some tough calls, but ultimately first place had to Koda's bacon jalapeno mac and cheese costume! The whole family was involved and the creativity was *chef's kiss*. The grand prize featured prizes from Purina, Wagwear, DOG TV, Bark Pouch, Houston Bark Park and Daycare, and more!

Check out the gallery below to see some amazing costumes!
