Register Now For Wagoween 2023!

Don’t miss out on the 2nd annual Halloween costume contest for Charleston dogs! Last year’s inaugural event was a huge howling success, and our 2023 event promises to be next-level, tail-wagging fun!

This year, Wagoween will be held on Sunday, October 8, in conjunction with Second Sunday, downtown’s signature monthly event held on King Street. The blocks between Queen and Calhoun will be closed to vehicle traffic and open for canine trick-or-treating. At Charleston Place, celebrity judges will award fantastic prizes across several categories.

Event proceeds help the LENS Foundation support the K-9 unit of the Charleston Police Department. Learn more about the positive impact of K-9 units here.
