Pride Night at the Zoo is back and even bigger this year!

This year’s event is earlier in the year to maximize daylight and our animal encounters. Tickets will be on sale starting at $25. The price goes up after the Pride Festival to $30. Mark your calendar now and save the date!

The entire Zoo will be part of the event this year with performances in three areas:

• DJ Mister Fantastic (Eric Hilson) spinning in the Vine Street Village

• Drag Entertainment on the Wings of Wonder Stage, featuring: Dalicious Milian, Flora DeLis, Jessica Dimon, Katrina Chimera, Kiara Chimera, Kora Sline, Landon Summers, Puck Erup, Quasi, Sasha D’Vich and hosted by our local legend Penny (from RuPaul’s Drag Race)

• Acoustic/Music Entertainment will be announced soon and will be located in The Grove

The train will be running and the brand new carousel located on the lake in the center of the Zoo will be open.

Get ready for a fun night!
