Every dog has its day, and in Beverly Hills, that day is Sunday, June 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Roxbury Park's Wiggly Field., when the City of Beverly Hills hosts the most beloved pet extravaganza of the year - Woofstock90210.

Lolo and Coco, same gender dogs and both recues, will get married at the Dog Wedding Movie booth. Their Alice in Wonderland themed wedding is sure to entertain guests. More dog weddings will follow. Guests can schedule their dogs to be married at the Dog Wedding Movie booth. Wedding gowns and tuxes are provided and designed by Lola Teigland.
