Animoré will be one epic weekend (October 18-19, 2019) showcasing two events — the 6th Annual 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner and the Inaugural Barn Jam.
The Animorè weekend benefit was born out of an idea from Alaqua’s Founder Laurie Hood to create a community event combining music with excellent food and wine in support of animal welfare.
“As such, one of our goals for our future home and its unique environment is to be an inspiration for creating a kinder, more empathetic, and healthier society by healing animals and people,” said Laurie Hood. “We believe that this inaugural animoré festival does just that – bringing people together through music and engagement to help heal and give animals in Alaqua’s care second chances at life, happiness, and most of all, love.”
Tickets are now live and can be purchased online.
