Bring your four-legged friends and your kids to this Halloween pet costume parade on Sunday, Oct. 28 in the Delmar Loop. Your pets can strut their stuff through the Loop and compete for prizes, including scariest, funniest, most original, pet/owner look alike and best group costume. There will be candy for kids and treats for dogs along the parade route.
Check in begins at noon at Craft Alliance, and the parade begins at 1 p.m. at the Moonrise Hotel. Enter your pet (and your family) with a $5 donation to benefit Gateway Pet Guardians. Watching the parade is free.
