Getting Ready for Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market 2025

In case you missed our announcement, the annual Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market will be back for its fourth run on Sunday, September 21st, 2025 (11am-4pm) in Riverside Common Park and Joel Weeks Park.

The 2025 Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market is co-hosted by the Riverside BIA and Toronto Dog Moms, with support from our friends at Toronto Humane Society, Dirty Pawz Dog Wash and Sparky’s Comrade.  

With Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market less than a month away, we’ve got a few reminders for you to make sure you have a paw-sitively good time:

Spread the word.

At this party, everybody is welcome! Tell your family and friends—and your dog’s friends! The Dog Lovers’ Market is also a great opportunity to meet not only fellow dog owners but also amazing entrepreneurs from all over the city. Your dog might even make a new friend or two.

 

Prepare your dog’s necessities.

Ready the essentials, from food and water to leash and poop bags. Throw in an emotional support plushie and a cute outfit to wear for the Vintage Photo Booth. The Dog Lovers’ Market is a rain-or-shine event, so be sure to dress and pack for all types of weather.

Come with a plan.

While the Dog Lovers’ Market runs for five hours, two venues and 40+ vendors might be a lot to cover if you’re pressed for time. To make the most out of your visit, we recommend making a note of the things you plan to shop or do at the event and hit the ground running.

Connect with us on social.
