It’s Halloween for hounds as the Times Square
Alliance presents THE FOURTH ANNUAL TIMES SQUARE DOG DAY MASQUERADE,
a canine costume contest that’s free and open to the public. This year’s event will be held on the newly-revitalized Duffy Square at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets on Sunday, October 19th from 1 pm to 3 pm.
The Dog Day Masquerade will raise awareness for Animal Haven’s Adopt-A-Pet Day on Wednesday, October 22 at the Times Square Information Center on 7th Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets.
Felines beware – dogs of all breeds and sizes have invaded the catwalk! Pretty paws and gorgeous growls are one thing, but the top prizes will be awarded to the dogs whose costume best evokes Times Square’s past or present, including historical figures like the VJ Day Sailor and Nurse, current Times Square characters such as New Year’s Eve celebrants, Broadway icons like the Witch from Wicked, or even shady street characters from Times Square’s seedy past, because, as they say, poochin’ ain’t easy. Last year’s event attracted no less than 100 canine competitors, and past contests have seen dogs decked out as everything from taxi cabs to the Times Square TKTS booth.
This unbridled display of puppy pageantry will be hosted by comedian Wali Collins, and winners will be selected by a panel of celebrity judges including 2007 Dog Day Masquerade champion Eli, and Director of Animal Behavior to the Humane Society of New York William Berloni, celebrity dog trainer on Broadway and beyond for more than 30 years. The top prize is a $250 gift certificate courtesy of Petland Discounts. Additional prizes will be awarded to the runners-up, or “Honorable Hounds” and a special “Miss Congeniality” prize to be determined by the participating pooches themselves.
