Woofstock - A Festival for Dogs

Woofstock is the largest festival for dogs and their owners on the continent. It's a free admission event which took place Saturday and Sunday (June 6 & 7) mainly at the Front Street (as well as adjoining side streets) which is just steps from the centre of the city in one of Toronto’s most upscale neighbourhoods, the St. Lawrence Market area.

Early morning last Saturday, from our window I noticed a long line of white stalls at the Front St. I did remember that there's an upcoming event in the street, the festival for dogs. Last weekend the same streets were also blocked for the bike race. This seems to be a very popular venue of activities apart from the weekly flea market and fresh produce market every weekend.

Taken from our window at 7:30am.

Unfortunately, we couldn't observe such event as we had a weekend commitment out-of-town. On our way out, I did scan through the place quickly to see what was on and what they have in their stalls. It was overwhelming. Literally everything you can imagine a dog needs is very much available there and of course they don't come cheap. It's amazing! I stood there for few minutes and watched those different kinds of dogs around, they really are beautiful. I'm not a pet lover though but I enoyed watching them.

It was such a beautiful day, no wonder why the place was packed. There was a full program of activities for Saturday and Sunday. It's a pity that we couldn't watch those. Check this webpage for the activities. http://www.woofstock.ca/ini.html

Here are some of the snapshots I took.
