The annual Bark Back Benefit music festival returns to Bryant Park on Saturday, Nov. 14, bringing a full day of live entertainment, family-friendly activities and community support for animal rescue organizations throughout Palm Beach County.

Hosted by South Florida favorite Spred the Dub, the festival celebrates more than a decade of bringing the community together to support animal welfare. This year's event will benefit four animal rescue organizations while recognizing the lifesaving work they perform throughout the region.

Gates open at 11:30 a.m., with live entertainment beginning at noon and continuing until 9 p.m.

The festival will feature a diverse lineup of musical performances, including More Better Band, The Rick Rollers, American Idol semifinalist Bryant Thomas, The People Upstairs, Mariachi De Me Terma, Spred the Dub and Surfer Blood. Additional entertainment will include performances by 561 Music School and the Lake Worth High School Color Guard and Drumline.

Beyond the music, attendees can explore a car and motorcycle show, browse merchandise from local artisans and vendors, and enjoy food from a variety of South Florida food trucks. A craft beer garden and outdoor bars will also be available.

One of the festival's most anticipated attractions, the First Responders Rescue

Runway Walk, will return, highlighting the connection between local first responders and animal rescue efforts.

Representatives from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League will also be on hand with adoptable shelter animals, giving festivalgoers an opportunity to meet dogs and other pets in search of loving homes.

General admission tickets will also be available at the gate.

The Bark Back Benefit takes place Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Bryant Park in Lake Worth Beach.
