Get ready for a whole lot of a-paws: the 39th annual Streeterville dog and cat Halloween costume parade returns to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago on Saturday, October 31.
The free, family-friendly event brings together hundreds of costumed pets for one of the neighborhood’s cutest Halloween traditions.
The Doggy Parade kicks off at 9:30 a.m. in the MCA Sculpture Garden. Bring your dressed-up dog—or cat—and watch pets show off their Halloween looks.
It’s more than just a parade—there’s also a costume contest. So, remember to go all out because Alderman Brian Hopkins and Maureen Schulman will judge the outfits and award prizes to the best-dressed animals.
