LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of Louisville's most popular and unique fundraisers is back and better than ever.
On August 26, enjoy beer, food, and wine at the Louisville Zoo between 5 and 9 p.m. for a refreshed "Brew at the Zoo with Wine and Food, Too!"
"Brew at the Zoo has grown up!" said Chad Dobbins, president of the Friends of the Louisville Zoo Board. "For anyone who has fond memories of the Zoo or simply appreciates the value it brings to our region and would like to help wildlife, this is the event for you."
This year's event will feature an "all-inclusive, VIP guest experience" for everyone, officials said in a news release.
There will be catered food, beer and wine tastings, animal encounters, and special late-night food bites. Guests will also enjoy live music, oversized lawn games, and a silent disco in the Islands habitat alongside orangutans, tigers and more.
The annual fundraiser, coordinated and hosted by the Friends of the Louisville Zoo, raises money to support the Louisville Zoo's special projects and initiatives that support species conservation and education.
