The Northfield Business Association hosted its first-ever Dog Costume Parade on Sunday, Oct. 20 at Congregation Beth Israel. Dog owners and their pets gathered for a fun-filled afternoon, with prizes awarded in categories such as toy, medium, large, and best in show.
Many owners wore coordinating costumes with their pets. One family dressed as hippies, complete with a dog in dreadlocks. Another group stood out in matching “Beetlejuice” costumes. The event was marked by creativity and enthusiasm.
DonutNV served as the event’s food vendor. Northfield Veterinary Center, an event sponsor, had a veterinary team on site to provide information and care if needed. HG Workshops offered an art activity for dogs, and a selfie station was set up for attendees.
Organizers and participants agreed the event was a great success, with hopes of making the Dog Costume Parade an annual tradition.
