- Build-a-Bark will be held at Shepherd’s Green Field each festival day of Woofstock. Registration begins at 3 PM and is in-person only. The 45-minute building period will begin at 3:15 PM.
- Judging will be conducted each day at Shepherd’s Green Stage after the building period has concluded. Winners will be announced immediately following judging, with new winners being selected each day.
