Angel's Arena - Bluegrass Barn Jam
On the front side of the property, Angel's Arena comes alive with over six hours of nonstop music in a one-of-a-kind setting. Headlining the Bluegrass Barn Jam this year is Sister Sadie, a Grammy-nominated, IBMA-sweeping, Grand Ole Opry-starring force. Bonus, enjoy musical performances by Goodbye to Sunshine and Black Creek Strings Band. 

Back Acreage – Fall Fest Fun
Wander to the back acreage for the sprawling Fall Fest, featuring food trucks, full bar, and local vendors. Family fun includes hayrides, face painting, a corn pit, plenty of kid-friendly games and heartwarming animal encounters with Alaqua's beloved rescues. Enjoy all-day bluegrass music on a second stage + jam sessions (bring your instruments!), and Clogging and Christian school performances.

Alaqua Animal Refuge believes that every abused, neglected and homeless animal deserves a second chance. The private, nonprofit animal sanctuary is committed to serving the Emerald Coast as the premier no-kill refuge, providing protection, shelter and care to animals in need. Learn more: alaqua.org
