The Shakespeare Animal Fund is hosting its free Holiday Costume Pet Pageant on Saturday, Dec. 6, at Swamp Head Brewery.

The event, which will feature a dog costume contest with prizes, will run from 4 to 7 p.m. at 3650 SW 42^nd Ave. in Gainesville.

The cost is $15 per costume entry or two for $25. Click here to sign up for the contest.

The costume contest will include Small & Sensational, Most Creative and Best Ugly Holiday Sweater, with prizes. Dog holiday art is a new added bonus. Pose with your pooch for a photo with Santa Claus and treat your dog to doggie games, including musical chairs. We’ve even got a face painter for the kids.

For the humans, there’s a silent auction (just right for holiday shopping) and a raffle to get your dog’s face on a batch of beer that Swamp Head will produce.

Shakespeare Animal Fund helps pay for emergency veterinary care in Alachua County for elderly, disabled, returning veterans and anyone who has a suffering or dying pet and can’t afford treatment
