Celebration For The Turkeys — Acton, CA

This fall, gather for our time-honored tradition, Celebration for the Turkeys. On November 18, we’ll express gratitude for each other and all living beings — but turkeys especially! Thanksgiving season is supposed to be about gratitude, but the factory farming industry has co-opted it to promote the consumption of turkeys who've suffered tortured lives on industrial farms. Nearly 46 million turkeys will be killed in the U.S. this Thanksgiving alone. Rather than supporting this cruel system, please join us for our compassionate holiday celebration! Attendees will savor a Saturday of community connection with human and non-human animals, complete with a festive meal for our feathered friends. All humans welcome! Program Schedule: 11:30 a.m: Registration and Check-in 12:00-1:30 p.m.: Compassionate Holiday Meal Courtesy of Veggie Grill, Welcome Remarks, Feeding of the Turkeys Ceremony Virtual Viewing (Due to Avian Influenza), Speaker Presentations 1:30-3:00 p.m.: Open Sanctuary Time 3:15 p.m.: President and Co-founder Gene Baur Book Signing 4:00 p.m.: Event Ends
