Philly Goat Project GOAToberFest

Philly Goat Project’s GOAToberFest is back for a 4th year on Saturday, October 18th from 2pm – 5pm at the Laurel Hill West Conservatory. Comedic theatrical Drag Queen Dominique Lee returns as emcee, and Triple Bottom Brewing is back with a custom-labeled beer can designed by a local artist exclusively for the event. At GOATobeFest, attendees will spend the afternoon with Philly Goat Project’s 13 beloved goats while enjoying a packed lineup of fun festivities. Guests can play lawn games, take their picture in a goat photobooth, sip on craft beer and other beverages from Triple Bottom Brewing, enjoy snacks, enter goat art raffles, enjoy s’mores by the fire pit, participate in a costume contest, explore Laurel Hill via a historic cemetery tour, buy swag by local artist Marian Bailey who also designed the Triple Bottom can, and more. Attendees will also be the first to see and purchase the signature 2026 Goat Calendar, which celebrates the 250th anniversary of the country. Philly Goat Project is the country’s first city-based multiservice goat program. Proceeds from GOAToberFest support Philly Goat Project’s community programming, including early literacy, environmental education, animal-assisted therapy, community wellness, teen job skills training, and bereavement support initiatives.
