After last year’s virtual event, the Sunnyvale Halloween Pet Parade and Faire marched back into downtown Sunnyvale. Over a hundred pets and their pet parents, both in costumes walked down Murphy Avenue.
This is the third time the event has been held. Judging was held at Plaza del Sol with Zelda, a toy poodle, dressed as a flower, winning first place.
