Calling all dogs, dog lovers and creative costume makers. The Fall Dog Parade & Costume Contest is coming to the Jessup Farm Harvest Festival on Saturday, September 19, and your four-legged friend is invited to join the fun.
Hosted by Moore Animal Hospital, this free event promises a morning filled with wagging tails, festive fall fashion and plenty of reasons to smile.
Bring Your Best Costume Idea
Pumpkins, scarecrows, superheroes, farmers and clever dog-and-owner combinations are all welcome. Whether your pup’s costume is sweet, silly, seasonal or completely unexpected, we cannot wait to see what you create.
Contest categories include:
Best Fall-Inspired Costume
Most Creative Costume
Cutest Costume
Funniest Costume
Best Dressed Dog & Owner Duo
Best in Show
Ribbons will be awarded in each category, but every pup is a winner. Each registered dog will receive a free doggie goodie bag just for participating.
Registration, Parade and Judging
Registration begins at 10 a.m. at the Moore Animal Clinic tent located in the Plaza at Jessup Farm.
The costume parade and judging begin at 10:45 a.m. Costumed contestants will strut through Jessup Farm during judging, giving festival guests the chance to cheer, take photos and enjoy one of the most entertaining events of the morning.
There is no entry fee, so bring the family, grab the leash and join us.
