Annual dress-up contest returns to Columbus Taco Fest
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – An annual contest for all pets is returning in part of the 2024 Columbus Taco Fest.
The festival is bringing back its “highly anticipated” Puppy Dress-Up Contest on Sunday, May 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Genoa Park. While enjoying the festival’s tacos, patrons have an opportunity to show off their pet and its best costume during the contest.
According to the release, the contest will be split into three categories: Chihuahuas, small dogs and big dogs. This is so all furry friends have a fair chance in the “ruff” competition. Along with the contest, there will also be several activities available including live entertainment, food vendors and more.
