Fun Unleashed: 2025 Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market Highlights

Free treats! Amazing vendors! Fun activities! Adorable dogs! It was a paw-ty for the books on September 21st as the Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market had its fourth run in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood.

This year was also its biggest installment yet, with the event having 40+ participating vendors across three locations in Riverside: Riverside Common Park, Joel Weeks Park and the parking lot at 645 Queen St E.

We would like to extend our gratitude to our co-host Toronto Dog Moms for putting together such an amazing event. Thanks also go out to our friends from Toronto Humane Society, Dirty Pawz Dog Wash and Sparky’s Comrade for the continued support!

To all those who came and brought their doggos, thank you for spending your Sunday afternoon with us and joining our little party in the neighbourhood. We hope to catch you again next year!
