Our Favorite Halloween Costumes — Pet Edition
October 15, 2025
Every October, the Menands Market Pavilion turns into the cutest Halloween scene you’ll find — full of wagging tails, creative costumes, and plenty of fall market fun. Our Dress Your Pet Halloween Contest has quickly become one of our favorite traditions, and last year’s pets really brought their A-game.
From royal pups to tiny pumpkins on leashes, we loved seeing how creative our community got. Each furry friend showed up ready to impress, and the smiles from our shoppers said it all.
Beyond the costumes, the event captures what our farmers market is all about — bringing people together, supporting local vendors, and creating moments that make your Saturday morning a little brighter. Shoppers picked up fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade treats, all while cheering on the four-legged contestants.
If you missed out last year, don’t worry, the fun continues this Saturday, October 18th from 10 AM – 2 PM at the Menands Market Pavilion
