Bark Back Benefit 11

Come for the music, stay for the mission, and dance for the dogs. The 11th annual Bark Back Benefit brings ten bands, vendors, food trucks, bars, a car and bike show, and rescue dogs looking for their people. Gates open at 11:30 AM, and the music runs from noon to 9 PM. All proceeds benefit Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Barky Pines Animal Rescue & Sanctuary and South Florida Mutt Rescue.
