This year’s Haute Dog Howl’oween Parade saw a wide variety of creative costumes and references — from alien dogs to Elvis pups. There was even a reference to the recent robbery of crown jewels at The Louvre.
The Community Action Team, meanwhile, puts on many events in Long Beach each year, including the Turkey Trot, the annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest, the Interfaith Blessing of the Animals, monthly beach clean-ups, and more.
