26th Annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest

In our 26th year at Fort Greene Park, and presented by Fort Greene PUPS, the Great PUPkin is Brooklyn's largest and most outrageous dog costume contest. Scads of dogs enter and ruthlessly compete for the coveted Great PUPkin rosettes for the top pups!

And remember, your entry fee is a tax-deductible donation to Fort Greene PUPS, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization! Your receipt will serve for tax purposes. Thank you for your support!

After preregistering, you will receive a receipt, which you should print or bring on your phone to check in starting at 11:00 a.m. on the day of event.

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!

We thank our generous sponsors Opie’s Academy, Heart of Chelsea, Pure Paws Veterinary Care, The Barking Meter, and K-9 Butcher.

Special thanks to individual donors Kathleen Perkins of Compass and Kathy Urbina.
