The 4th annual Dover Dog Howloween Costume Contest and Parade will take place Saturday, Oct.15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rotary Arts Pavilion in Henry Law Park in Dover. This event, produced by Greg West Photography and Golden Dog Adventure Co., invites dogs and their people, dressed in family-friendly costumes, to parade and trick-or-treat on Central Avenue at local shops in Dover, and compete for hundreds of dollars in prizes.

There’ll be more than a dozen pet-related vendor booths, food from The Local Lunchbox, demonstrations from the Rockingham Sheriff and Newington police dogs, and a beer pound sponsored by Chapel + Main brewpub.

Tickets are $10 per dog or $5 per person with no dog. Learn more and pre-register online at DoverDogHowloween.com/tickets. Proceeds benefit Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover.
