About our Sanctuary:

The site for this event, All World Acres, is a not for profit sanctuary supported by the community it serves. AWA has hosted more than +200 different events over the past 20 years. The site includes the community-built "Brent Stull Memorial Bathhouse" with hot showers and flush toilets, a covered stage, garden circle, organic garden, cafe, general store, and an air-conditioned community center. There is electricity on site to charge phones and other personal needs. RVs are welcome, but there are no hookups.

All the work done to prepare and facilitate the events is done by volunteers. Their only compensation is the satisfaction of working in a family-like environment to better the community at large. We hope all visitors will want to "join the family."

 AWA is located at 4715 Bruton Rd. Plant City, Florida 33565. Admission is only permitted during scheduled events (no drop bys).
