Join Dog-Harmony for the Emerald Coast’s most beloved doggie costume contest and canine-only trick-or-treat celebration at Grand Park in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025, from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.!

Dress up your pup and get ready for:

• Tasty Oktoberfest-inspired drinks
• Delicious light bites from JC’s Gourmet
• Live beats from DJ Diamond Dan
• Amazing raffle prizes

• And, of course, the legendary Halloween Costume Contest!

For just a $15 donation (or $20 day-of), you and your costumed pup can strut your stuff and compete for fun prizes.

This dog-gone good time is free and open to the public, and is proudly part of the Coastal Culture Series, thanks to the Grand Boulevard Arts & Entertainment Program.

No prong, choke, or shock collars, please—we’re all about positive vibes and wagging tails.
