We do dog parades.
We’re New York City’s premier dog culture organization and the leaders of the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade.
Through elegant parades and creative canine-themed programming, we foster community, connection, and joy - at a time when we need these things most!
Community.
In a world where it is feeling harder and harder to agree on things, dogs are a common ground. Our four-legged friends create low-pressure ways for us talk to each other! Socializing with one another is crucial to our society’s health and well-being.
Joy.
Dogs are a relatively simple way to add joy to almost any situation. At New York Dog Parade, we take full advantage of this joy.
Friendship.
Our parades create opportunities for people to connect over a shared love many of us can agree on. (Psst! Dogs! It’s dogs!)
Creativity.
Founded by creatives, we harness innovation, originality, and (you guessed it) dogs to create meaningful, memorable, and joyful experiences for our city, while also supporting causes that help canines and humans in need.
