MALIBU-Calabasas is preparing for their eighth annual Wine and Food Festival that will be held on Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21.
According to the event’s website, the annual Wine and Food festival is an event meant to allow people to enjoy tasting “world class wines, beers, spirits and delicious food,” but an added bonus of the event is its drive to raise money for Rock Against Trafficking (RAT.)
“Rock Against Trafficking is a pending 501c3 corporation established to fight for the end of child slavery worldwide.” R.A.T. will use the power of music and the Entertainment Industry to create global awareness of the horrors of “child labor and sex trafficking.”
“Rock Against Trafficking will use the proceeds from all projects to generate revenues to fund charitable platforms e.g. International Justice Mission (IJM), who work directly in rescuing and rehabilitating abused children. Set Them Free is the first project from R.A.T. featuring legendary guitarist SLASH.”
Tickets for the event are being sold as general admission, costing $100 per guest. The general admission allows guests to attend the festival from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. the cost of admission also includes wine, beer, spirits and food. The VIP admission costs $150 and allows guests to attend the festival from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The VIP ticket also includes wine, beer, spirits, food and a souvenir wine glass.
