Saturday, October 10, 2026

9:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Wickham Park, Melbourne Pavilions 1-3 (across from Ranger Station)

Register your pup now to lock in your spot!

Costume Contest Categories:

• Too Cute to Spook: the sweetest, most adorable costume (more cuddly than creepy)

• Pup-ular Choice: a crowd favorite; best in show

• Fur-ocious Entourage: best group costume; you and your crew dressed to a theme

• Best Float: best decorated float (wagon, stroller, cart, or other non-motorized item)

How it works

Wag-o-Ween is free to attend and watch. A $10 registration donation enters your dog in the costume contest, and every donation benefits SPCA of Brevard.

Registering and donating ahead of time makes check-in on event day faster and smoother for everyone. You don't need to know your costume yet. Claim your entry now, and you can always go back and add/edit the details later.

Two quick steps to enter

1. Make your $10 entry donation on the SPCA of Brevard page [this page!]

2. Fill out your costume contest entry form: https://tinyurl.com/WoW26CostumeContest

Prefer to handle it at the event? We'll happily take cash at check-in. But pre-registered, donated entries breeze right through.

Event wraps at 12:00 PM. Times could change. Costume contest participants should arrive during check-in (9:30 to 10:15) so the judges have time to meet every dog and take their photo.

There's plenty more happening too: fall photo ops, a whipped cream contest, free pup cups for every dog, a 50/50 raffle, plus a DJ, sponsor booths, and pet-friendly vendors.

Bring cash for the 50/50 raffle!

Tickets are $1 each, or bundle and save

• 6 tickets for $5

• 11 tickets for $10

• 22 tickets for $20 (best deal)

You must be present to win. Half the pot goes to one lucky winner, the other half to the SPCA of Brevard. A winner will be selected after the parade.

Want a booth or want to volunteer? Business booths, nonprofit booths, and volunteer sign-ups are all handled through one quick form: https://tinyurl.com/WoW26Signup. Booths are a single 10x10 space. No electricity, water, or generators. Business booths are $45. Nonprofit booths are $45 and fully refundable.

Bring your dog, your family, and your best costume to Wickham Park for a whole lot of tail wags, all to support SPCA of Brevard.
