Fur flies! Four-legged friends strut their stuff in Pet Costume Day in Coney Island

It’s back! Pet Costume Day returns to Coney Island on June 10.

The annual event where our four-legged, two-legged, and even some feathered and finned friends are given a chance to strut their stuff is a tail-wagging good time.

First prize is a season pass for Deno’s Wonder Wheel and a $150 certificate to Petco, second prize is day passes to the Wheel and a $75 gift certificate to Petco, and third prize also garners day passes to the Wheel along with a $25 certificate to Petco. Contestants will be judged for Funniest Costume, Most Creative Costume, and Best Pet/Owner Costume Combo!

The contest is limited to 25 entries, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants must bring two cans of cat or dog food as an entrance fee. All cans will be donated to The Sean Casey Animal Rescue, which will have an adoption vehicle on W. 12th Street for the day. Rain date for the festivities is June 11.

You can also take Fido on The Wonder Wheel — because pets ride free when accompanied by their owner.

You can pre-register at www.wonderwheel.com.
