This year’s exciting theme is “Under the Sea,” so get ready to see pups dressed as mermaids, sailors, sea creatures, and more as they strut their stuff along the beach in the most adorable costume parade in Queens.

The event takes place on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 from 12PM–2PM at the 94th Street Amphitheater in Rockaway Beach, Queens, NY.

Rain date is Sunday, October 4th.

Enjoy an afternoon packed with:
• Dog costume contests

• Fun photo ops & activities
• Vendors & pet fair
• Community fun for all ages

Whether you’re entering your dog in the costume contest, shopping local vendors, or simply coming to watch the festivities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This year’s parade benefits Zion’s Mission Animal Rescue, helping support rescue animals in need and raising awareness for pet adoption and animal welfare.

Bring your friends, family, and furry companions for an unforgettable day celebrating our four-legged friends by the beach. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome.
