Wag-O-Ween

Dogs in cute costumes… what could be better?

This brand new event in 2022 happened during October’s Second Sunday on King.  You were encouraged to dress up your canine and trick-or-trick at the shops and businesses along King Street.   It was such a success that it's been back ever since.

Check in for the contest takes place between noon and 1:00 on Market at the corner of King and Meeting Street.  (You’ll need to have preregistered online; see below for how.)  Then, head to Charleston Place for the big event, the Wag-O-Ween Dog Costume Contest.

Get set for:

• Trick-or-Treat swag bags for all participants;
• Prizes and awards in many categories, like most creative, funniest and cutest costume;
• Celebrity judges;
• Demos by the Charleston Police Department’s K-9 Unit and Horses of the Mounted Patrol;
• The tax deductible registration fee is $35, and proceeds go to the LENS Foundation, which supports CPD’s K-9 Unit.

You need to register ahead of time, and spots are going fast.  You can register here.
