Woofstock 2025

More than JUST a music festival, Woofstock is a celebration of the bond between humans and animals. Hosted by the Humane Society of Central Texas, this event is all about peace, love, and community—united by our shared passion for animals.

Instead of traditional vendors, enjoy immersive experiences, interactive art, fun activities, and a legendary air guitar contest! Whether you come with friends, family, or a four-legged companion, everyone belongs.

More than fundraising, Woofstock strengthens the ties that connect us all. Join us to celebrate the joy, love, and unity animals bring into our lives—because when we come together for them, we build a stronger, more compassionate community for all.
