At this year’s Oktoberfest at Yards Park, dachshund owners and enthusiasts gathered to watch dachshunds of all shapes, sizes, and fur-lengths race to be top dog in the Wiener 500 Dachshund Dash.

After the race, dachshunds donned their cutest and most elaborate Halloween get-up for the doggie costume contest. Other pups came to the park to show off their costumes and to cheer their dachshund pals on. Here are some of the cutest costumes we found:
