In case you missed our announcement, the annual Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market will be back for its biggest installment yet on Sunday, September 15th, 2024 (10am-4pm).
This year, we’ve got two venues for the market: Riverside Common Park (657 Queen St E) and Joel Weeks Park (10 Thompson St).
The 2024 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.
As the event draws near, we’ve got a few reminders for you in preparation for the Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market:
Come with a plan.
If you’re pressed for time, two venues and 30+ booths might be a lot to cover. To make the most out of your visit, we recommend making a list of items you plan on getting for your dog so you know which vendors to check out once you’re there.
Tell your family and friends.
–and your dog’s friends. At this party, everybody is welcome! If it’s just you and your dog, the market is also a great opportunity to meet fellow dog owners from all over the city. Your dog might even make a new friend or two.
Pack your dog’s essentials.
Don’t forget your furry best friend’s necessities: food, water, leash & harness, poop bags, maybe even a cute outfit. While we all hope for beautiful sunny skies, bring their rain booties or an umbrella just in case it rains cats and dogs (sorry, we had to).
Follow us on our socials.
If you want a sneak peek into what’s happening during the market, be sure to follow @riverside_bia and @torontodogmoms on Instagram as we’ll be posting updates regularly in the coming days.
Let us know you’re coming.
If you RSVP, you’ll receive pre-registration links for the “Meet The Trainer” session with Sparky’s Comrade and the affordable ($10) microchipping service courtesy of the City of Toronto’s Chip Truck straight to your inbox.
As with all our programming for Riverside C’Mon!, the Dog Lovers’ Market is free and open to all. You can get your FREE tickets here.
The first 45 to get their free ticket and show it at the event will get a free canvas tote bag from Tom & Sawyer and entry into our prize raffle for local gift packs.
Who’s excited for the 2024 Dog Lovers’ Market? See you on September 15th!
