The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden, together with the Oklahoma Zoological Society (OZS), celebrates the return of the 16th annual ZOObrew and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before! ZOObrew, presented by Byron’s Liquor Warehouse, is Oklahoma City’s largest outdoor craft beer festival and one of OZS’s most popular fundraisers in support of the OKC Zoo. This sud-sational event on Friday, September 27, from 4 to 9 p.m. invites fans 21 and older to fill (and raise) a glass for wildlife conservation as they enjoy unlimited samplings of specialty brews from numerous Oklahoma and national breweries, as well as other libations–wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. ZOObrew goers can take in the beauty of the OKC Zoo as they stroll the majority of the park after hours!
ZOObrew creates the perfect night for friends and loved ones to connect as they sample suds from great local breweries, sip spirits and experience unique Zoo attractions like the Endangered Species Carousel, a caretaker chat, and animal enrichment. Animal and nature lovers will be interested in the evening’s silent auction and the chance to bid on one-of-a-kind items, experiences, and Zoo encounters with proceeds supporting the OKC Zoo, its programs and conservation initiatives. Guests can also take in a view of the African savanna while discovering the Zoo’s newest and largest habitat expansion, Expedition Africa, for incredibly close looks at giraffe, zebra, hyena, honey badgers, and more.
Revelers can complement their beer and beverage tastings with savory dishes and bites available for purchase from local food truck vendors and Zoo concessions.
ZOObrew tickets are now on sale at www.ozsgiving.org/zoobrew. General admission to ZOObrew is $70 per person including event access, from 6 to 9 p.m., unlimited beer, wine, and spirit samplings, and carousel rides. PREbrew tickets for this year are sold out.
Proceeds from ZOObrew will support the Zoo and its global wildlife conservation efforts. The Zoo will close at 1 p.m., last entry at noon, on Friday, September 27 in preparation for ZOObrew.
