Plan an adventure right here in the GTA! There are tons of great experiences waiting for you this weekend. Attend a dog PAWTY filled with fun for you and your dog. Enjoy amazing Indian cuisine, heritage, art and music, or stroll through Toronto’s newest pop-up market filled with over 35 vendors. Your adventure awaits.

Bark & Grill
Bark & Grill, presented by YUPP, is a summer dog pawty and will be held at the YUPP production facility. There will be local dog-related businesses to meet and purchase from, and more. Every package and flavour of the MuttBalls will be available. We want you to have a PAWESOME time: in addition to great food, this outdoor dog-friendly event will be filled with fun dog activities. Your dog may not want to leave, and they are likely to sleep well after all of that excitement. What else? The first 20 dogs that show up with their human will receive a swag bag full of goodies from some of the local businesses that will be attending. Try to get there at 11am to get a swag bag before they all go! Let’s have a barking good time.
