    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.
