‘Great PUPkin’ dog costume contest to go live in Fort Greene Park after virtual 2020
The 23rd annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest, sponsored by the Fort Greene Park Users and Pets Society (PUPS), will “go live” in Fort Greene Park on Saturday, Oct. 30, after being held virtually last year.
More than 100 canines festooned in Halloween finery are expected to compete in front of judges and a live audience for the chance to win coveted Great PUPkin rosettes.

“Following last year’s virtual PUPkin, I’m thrilled to be organizing the event as an in-person live show again this year,” said Emily Lawson, director of the 2021 Great PUPkin. “Each year, the PUPkin showcases the creativity of dog lovers from across the five boroughs and beyond, and thousands of spectators marvel at the increasingly elaborate canine costumes.
“Now that we’re once again hosting it as a live event in Fort Greene Park, I can’t wait to see what outrageous and adorable getups we’ll see for 2021!” she said.
