SOLD OUT

Presented by Fort Greene PUPS, the Great PUPkin is Brooklyn's largest and most outrageous dog costume contest. Creativity is key! We love to see homemade, inspiring costumes. Judges help pick the favorites, but the audience decides the winner!

IMPORTANT: If you do not check in at the registration table located at Monument Plaza (top of stairs) by 11:45 a.m., your entry will be forfeited. Judging of all entrants begins at the bottom of the monument stairs at 12pm sharp!
