Lakewood Spooky Pooch Parade (Woof! Bark! Bark! Grr. Woof!)
Join the fun as Downtown Lakewood presents the Spooky Pooch Parade, an event that’s sure to become a Halloween tradition for Northeast Ohio dog lovers and their families.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes dressed in their finest Halloween fashions will strut their stuff down the heart of Lakewood’s business district on Detroit Avenue. Celebrity judges include Channel 19 news women Denise Dufala and Dawn Kendrick. Sandra Philipson, noted local author of the children’s series “Max and Annie,” will also award prizes for dogs and kids in a number of categories including most creative, most original and best float.


Following the parade the raffle will be held, costume prizes awarded, childrens activities, vendors and nonprofits booths with dog-related goods and services will be available as well. Participants include the Cleveland Clinic Therapy Dogs and North Coast Dogs, which will be giving an obedience demonstration.

Registration costs $10 per dog, $15 the day of the parade. Proceeds from the parade will benefit the Lakewood Animal Shelter, the Lakewood Dog Park and parade organizer Main Street Lakewood.

Pre-register online at www.mainstreetlakewood.org. Registration forms can also be downloaded or found at the Lakewood Public Library.
