The Downtown Boston Improvement District (BID) is pleased to announce that it will host the 2021 Doggone Halloween Costume Parade! The annual event draws hundreds of spectators and lots of dogs—big, small, and everything in between—attired in their Halloween finest. The costumed canines (and their human companions) will strut their stuff in a gated area in the heart of Downtown Boston. All well-behaved dogs and their owners are welcome to register and attend.

Plenty of free gifts will be distributed, and every dog gets a treat, with special prizes awarded for Cutest Costume, Scariest Costume, Best Dog & Human Duo, Best Costume, and more. The grand prizes include a one-night stay at the Hyatt Regency Boston as well as at the Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall, along with a special dinner and shopping sprees for winning dogs—and their owners!
