""It's such a moment of joy and light in what is about to be the dark months of winter,""
""You don't have to think about anything - you can just go watch cute dogs in costumes. It's really creative, and it brings out super creative people in the area.""
""I'm just really happy to know that everyone has dumb humor like us,""
""bonkers and bizarre.""
Hundreds of Brooklyn residents and their dogs gathered in Fort Greene Park for the annual Great Pupkin costume contest hosted by Fort Greene PUPS. Canine costumes ranged from pop culture tributes to elaborate DIY masterpieces, highlighting local creativity and community engagement. Judges included Council Member Crystal Hudson, podcaster Ashley Hamilton, and Pamela Soberman of the Fort Greene Park Conservancy. The event has become a joyful fall tradition and now relies mostly on word of mouth after earlier physical marketing efforts. First place was awarded to Rosie, a 15-year-old Chihuahua dressed as the viral "blueberry muffin dog" meme. Attendees enjoyed a playful, creative respite before winter.
