Behind the name
A JACKALOPE is a mystical, imaginary animal that has the physical attributes of both a jackrabbit and an antelope. A symbol of self-deprecation, the JACKALOPE also inspires creativity, strength and performance. True to its namesake, JACKALOPE is a unique event, an international showcase of raw talent with outdoor fun and stimulating exchanges.
