Fall Fun Day Recap

Friday November 1, 2024

Warm weather and the promise of a fiercely adorable competition for the Dog Costume Contest brought out record crowds to Milian Park (499 Massachusetts Avenue) on Saturday, October 26 for Fall Fun Day! It was a treat to see so many friends, families, and neighbors stop by Milian Park to enjoy the beautiful weather, show off their costumes, get their faces painted, take photos, decorate pumpkins from Sunnyside Farm, chat with Monumental Sports and the Washington Wizards, and enjoy apples and cider provided by Black Rock Orchard!
Additionally, we’re so grateful to have such amazing community partners that help make our events feel so welcoming and joyful! We want to thank the following Mount Vernon Triangle businesses and residential properties for generously donating their time (and candy!) for the little monsters parade—ensuring that our youngest community members left with full bags of sweets and treats: 450K ApartmentsBar ChinoisCantataChez LilyCrosbyCucina MoriniDefinition of FitnessLydian+LyricMadrigal LoftsThe AspenTropical Smoothie Cafe, and VIDA Fitness.
Finally, we want to extend our warmest a”paw”s to the winners of the 2024 Dog Costume Contest:

Thank you to all the Hallo”weenies” that participated, and thank you once again to DDOT Director Sharon KershbaumLama Hamoudi of Chez Lily and Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and Chef Matt Adler of Cucina Morini for graciously agreeing to judge the contest! With so many “fur”bulous costumes on display, we think you “hound” the top dogs!
