We invite you to join us at Bark & Wine for an afternoon filled with adorable animal greeters, delicious food and drink, fun activities, a wonderful silent auction, and stories that showcase the work we've accomplished thanks to your support!
While Forward Fest was originally by and for entrepreneurs, we actively embrace a wide, inclusive definition of the word. Everyone in the community is welcome: do you work at a startup or nonprofit? Want to know more about running a business? Are you maybe interested in switching to a career in tech? Do you just think entrepreneurship is neat? Join us!
YOU'RE INVITED! Join us for Bark & Wine on Saturday, September 27th, 2025! This year’s event features a rematch celebration of the oldest rivalry around – Team Cat vs Team Dog. We have incredible items generously donated by local businesses, DCHS volunteers, and other supporters available in our online auction.
