ScareFest 2023 Halloween Fun
Sunday, Oct. 29!

For six years, from 2012 through 2017, People for Palmer Park held the Doggie Fashion Parade. We are excited to revive the tradition at the City of Detroit’s ScareFest, a Halloween celebration for all!

Check-in and park before the crowds arrive—we will reserve a limited number of parking spots at or near the Community Center/Splash Pad Parking Lot at 990 Merrill Plaisance.

There is additional parking on Merrill Plaisance and Pontchartrain, but you must arrive early (suggest by 3 pm). There are also designated lots nearby, but you will have to take your dog on a walk through the park. PARKING MAP below.

Dogs must be pre-registered or signed in by 3:30 pm to participate, line-up at 4 pm, and the parade begins at 4:15 pm. If you arrive early, you can walk over to the new Dog Park until the parade begins.

Thank you to our Dog Parade sponsor, Premier Pet Supply.

Sign up your dog for the parade here. Please read these guidelines.

Start planning your costume for you and your dog now! Prizes and treats for everyone.

There will be trick or treat bags and goodies for all. Grand prizes will be awarded for our judge’s favorites.

Thank you
