After a one-year reprieve, the Midtown Association is excited to announce a four-footed-favorite–the Midtown Halloween Festival & Pooch Parade on Saturday, October 30 at James Marshall Park.

Presented by Sutter District restaurants – including Barwest, Blue Cue, Café Bernardo, Centro Cocina Mexicana, Four Palms, Harlow’s Restaurant and Nightclub, INK Eats and Drinks, Paragary’s Midtown, Red Rabbit Kitchen and Bar, and Tea Bar and Fusion Café – the canine-friendly event is highlighted by a much-anticipated “pooch parade” scheduled to take place at 2pm.

Furry friends will strut and stroll by while competing in an always-entertaining costume contest that will include prizes, like gift cards to Sutter District restaurants and Midtown Love swag, for the winning pooches. Before the highly anticipated parade of costumed pooches, there will be plenty of family-friendly outdoor activities such as arts and crafts, a bounce house, photo-friendly pet backdrops, entertaining live music, and more.
