Show off your pet in the Pet Pawrade!

Picture
The Pet Parade is getting a spooky twist for 2022!  In conjunction with Howl-O-Ween in the Park, dress up your pet in their Halloween finest for the Pawrade and a chance to win prizes for best costume, trick and more!

Pets of all sizes can strut their stuff through the streets of the Cotton District in the official CDAF Pawrade.  Enter your pets and dress them up to show them off for all to see! The parade ends at the festival's Humble Taco and heads straight into Howl-O-Ween in the park at Fire Station Park, where prizes are awarded!

​We are looking forward to seeing some exciting "dress up" costumes on all of our sweet pets of all kinds.

Don't be shy, go all out! Your Pet is a 'One of a Kind'!

PLEASE NOTE: Howl-O-Ween in the Park is not a CDAF or SAAC event.
