Forty years ago there was Woodstock

Now there will be WOOFstock
... in San Antonio

Woofstock will be a day of peace, paws and music on Sunday, May 2, at Floore Country Store, to celebrate the bond between people and their furry friends.

WHAT: This unique, family-friendly music and pet adoption festival will feature eight bands — including headliner Sara Hickman of Austin. They'll be playing blues, rock, pop, country, folk and alternative tunes throughout the day.

Come hear:

• Sara Hickman charm and captivate with a mix of alternative, folk and pop.
• The Tim and Bob Show play all of your favorite pop and rock covers.
• Los Dos Estebans Con Queso offer up an eclectic blend of blues and rock.
• The Do Gooders Band demonstrate the healing power of music.
• The Lavens bring an Americana sound that touches on blues and folk.
• Clayton Gardner croon his heartfelt country ballads.
• The S.A. Blue Cats play all styles of blues and blues-influenced music.
• The Vinyl 45's blast away with rockin' classics from the '50s.

WHEN: The party kicks off at 11 a.m. with a pet parade and drawings. The music cranks up at noon and runs to 9 p.m. There will be food, drinks, vendors and tons of fun and games all day for the whole family — pets too!

WHERE: Floore's has been a Texas tradition for 50 years and is an old stompin' ground for music legend Willie Nelson. The rustic dance hall sits at San Antonio's doorstep to the Hill Country, at 14492 Old Bandera Road, in scenic Helotes.
