DoggieFest Toronto

11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Roundhouse Park
Roundhouse Park is going to the dogs this August for the third annual DoggieFest Toronto, presented by the Toronto Downtown West BIA. Located right next to the historic Steam Whistle Brewery in the heart of downtown, this free, pet-friendly street festival is a canine wonderland designed for dogs and their humans to play, socialize, and explore.
What to Expect
The park will transform into an interactive playground featuring a massive giant ball pit for pups, a dedicated agility zone, a lure course for high-energy hounds, and pet photography experiences. If you have ever wondered what your dog's aura looks like, you can even check out the pet aura photography station, or stop by to watch a live sketch artist capture your four-legged companion's likeness.
Local Vendors and Treats
With over 35 local pet vendors on-site, it is a great spot to pick up artisanal treats, specialized gear, and local accessories. While the pups are busy sniffing out new friends, human attendees can grab a bite at the Steam Whistle Brewing tailgate barbecue and take a spin on the miniature railway rides that encircle the park.
Getting There
DoggieFest takes place at Roundhouse Park (255 Bremner Blvd) on Sunday, August 9, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Admission is completely free. It is easily accessible via transit from Union Station, making it an easy afternoon trip for downtown residents and visitors alike.
