Summer festivals aren't only limited to headdress-wearing hipsters. This weekend, thousands of celebratory canines and their owners gathered on the streets of Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Market neighborhood for Woofstock, North America's largest outdoor festival for dogs. Pups dressed to the nines partook in fun and wacky events such as the Woofstock Fashion Show, Best Costume Contest, Ms. and Mr. Canine Canada Pageant and more. Check out these precious pics from the hip, howlin' event.

CHINESE CRESTED COUTURE
This Chinese Crested's hairdo already looked super fashionable, so a little purple tutu was all that was needed to complete its look.

PRETTY, PRETTY PRINCESS
She didn't care how many princesses were in attendance. She knew she was the fairest one of all.

Even though he was across the pond, this Daschund still made sure to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee celebration.

CAPTAIN AMERICA CANINE
While Thor took care of the north end of the festival, Captain America made sure to cover the south grounds. Pup protectors unite!

PROTECTIVE PUP
She took all the precautions when it came to skin -- and fur -- care. Sunscreen can only do so much.

MUTTDONNA
'Cause we are living in a material world and she's a material girl.

BAD TO THE BONE
Her pink mohawk and camo hoodie just screamed sweet and vicious.

COOL CANINE
It's hip to keep tags on everything, not just baseball caps, right?

So many dogs, so little time.
