There's no doubt outdoor festivals are all the rage. Coachella, for one, experienced record-high ticket sales this year, drawing more than 500,000 people. Bonnaroo, another music festival, had a 41% increase in ticket sales this year.

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.

Humans got to enjoy food trucks and a beer garden, too.
