Dog lovers rejoice!

Woofstock is returning to Toronto this weekend for its 16th season, giving dog owners the chance to celebrate their furry four-legged friends.

The paw-sitively adorable festival dubs itself as “the largest outdoor festival for dogs in all of North America,” and boasts that it attracts tens of thousands of dogs and their faithful owners from across the country and the US.

This year, Woofstock will showcase more than 150 “paw-some” exhibitors who will be selling unique canine products.

Crowd-favourite events will be returning, like the Mr. and Ms. Canine Canada Pageant, Canada Pooch fashion show, an upgraded children’s village, wiener dog races, running of the pugs, Frenchie flash, chihuahua chase, and last year’s sensational debut event, the puppy prowl.
