The 2024 New Canaan Halloween Block Party returns on Sunday, October 27th and this year our four-legged friends will be joining in. Elm Street is closed to traffic from noon until 2pm and the inaugural ‘HOWL-O-WEEN DOG PARADE’ will take place between 1-1:30pm (weather permitting).
A maximum of 25 dogs can be registered, we ask for one dog per owner to make the judging easier. EVERY single registered dog will receive a Halloween Treat bag, courtesy of family-owned and community based Pet Pantry Warehouse.
Owners and dogs will gather outside the dog-friendly Adirondack Store and parade down and back for the panel of experts to award prizes for best costumes. Spooktators are very welcome. The 4 categories include:
- ‘So Cute it’s Scary (originality)
- ‘Bone to be Wild’ (personality)
- ‘Scary & Hairy’ (creativity)
- ‘The Bark Side’ (presentation)
Special guest judges include Kristen Schilo, Owner of New Canaan Dogs; Michael Konstantaras, Master Trainer and Behavioral Therapist from Bark Busters; and Rachel Musa, Founder of Dog Friendly CT.
