Meet our 2026 Crown Hill-O-Ween Grand Marshal!

Tako is the Japanese word for octopus, but it’s pronounced just like taco. Sometimes called “The Little Prince” by folks who know him well, Tako lives a pampered life of fame and luxury. A pianist, a hiker, and an avid sardine eater, Tako was the 2025 winner of Crown Hill-O-Ween Best in Show.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve as Grand Marshal this year! I’ve been told that I will be Crown Hill-O-Ween’s first cat Grand Marshal, and I hope that I can inspire even more kitties and their pawrents to come out and join in on all the fun we have at the pet parade.”
