On July 19, Barkbox hosted its second annual Barkfest at the gorgeous Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn, New York.

The event ran for seven hours and featured tons of "pawesome" activities for dogs and their two-legged counterparts. Those included an agility course, dog-friendly fireworks, hot dog eating contests, photo booths, raffles, and a selfie-station with celebrity dogs Marnie The Dog and Menswear Dog. Humans got to enjoy food trucks and a beer garden, too.
