LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Get ready for a night of craft brews, wine and entertainment at the Louisville Zoo this weekend.
Tickets for this year’s Brew at the Zoo (and Wine Too!) are on sale as the popular event returns this Saturday, Aug. 27 from 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Enjoy delicious drinks from craft breweries and wineries while spending time with the zoo’s many animal ambassadors. There will also be food trucks and live music from the duo Kevin and Lauren.
The event's organizer, Friends of the Louisville Zoo, says while the event will proceed rain or shine, animal encounters are dependent on weather.
The event is 21+ and up, so parents, leave your children at home! The nonprofit says there will be no exceptions.
Guests will need to present valid ID before entering the event space.
Outside food or drink is not allowed on zoo grounds, however, guests may bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on the Oasis field lawn.
Need a ride home? There will be “Call a Cab” stations near the zoo’s exit. Volunteers will also be there to call a cab for you so everyone gets home safely.
