Reminders: The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Festival is tomorrow!

As previously noted: The 2022 version of the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade has a new name — and a familiar location. 

The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Festival takes place TOMORROW (Oct. 22) starting at 1 p.m. in Tompkins Square Park. Dan Schachner, a former NFL referee who now serves as host of the Puppy Bowl, is the host. 

Alex Carpenter and Maegan Hayward of the East Village Vintage Collective interviewed organizer Joseph Borduin in this podcast for Jason Charles.net. Listen here.

The Dog Parade/Festival, which outgrew Tompkins Square Park, took place in East River Park in 2018, 2019 and 2021. (That venue is no longer available.) The 2020 pandemic version was mostly virtual, with a small in-person/dog event at Lucky on Avenue B.

    Lock yourself in your apartment if you don't like it. Fun time, smiles everywhere.

    Arguably the most fun day of the year in the EV! I'm happy it's back in Tompkins, can't wait to see all the pups tomorrow!

    Narcissist obnoxious people who dress up their dogs and have instagrams for their dogs, and tons of annoying, loud suburban, post-grad brunch types flooding in. No thanks! And I love dogs!

    It was so much fun when it first started and was truly a neighborhood event with maybe a hundred or less attendees. Since it’s now a huge media event it has definitely imo lost its charm but hope all have fun.
