BLOG: Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market 2026: What’s Happening This Year
Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market 2026 is co-hosted by the Riverside BIA and Toronto Dog Moms, with friends Dirty Pawz Dog Wash, Toronto Humane Society, the City of Toronto’s Micro Chip Truck, and many more.
Are you excited for the Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market? We’ve got a few reminders for you to make sure you have an amazing time at the event:
Come with a plan.
While the Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market runs for the entire afternoon, 30+ vendors and so many activities across two venues might be a lot to cover. We recommend making a note of the things you plan to shop or do at the event so you can plan accordingly.
Prepare your dog’s essentials.
From their favourite treats and water to leash and poop bags, don’t forget to pack your pup’s necessities. The Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market is a rain-or-shine event, so be sure to prepare for all types of weather.
Tell your family and friends.
— and your dog’s friends! The Riverside Dog Lovers’ Market is a great opportunity to meet not only fellow dog owners but also discover local Riverside-based businesses and organizations like Dirty Pawz Dog Wash, Oma Chiropractic & Wellness, and Toronto Humane Society – and also small pet-focused businesses/vendors from all over the city. So spread the word!
