The 36th annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade takes place this Saturday (Oct. 17), with costumed dogs and their humans making their way along Avenue B.
The parade starts at 11 a.m. at 13th Street and heads south on Avenue B to Seventh Street. Organizers recommend spectators arrive between 10 and 10:30 a.m.
The accompanying festival area on Sixth Street between Avenues B and C will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with photo opportunities, giveaways and activities highlighting rescue dogs and adoption.
The nonprofit New York Dog Parade, founded by Fern Watt, is organizing this year's parade, with support from Kismet, the pet food company started by Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.
The event also includes an annual costume competition, limited to selected registered marchers. Marching registration is full, but spectators are welcome, and no registration is required to watch the parade or visit the festival area.
