Brew at the Zoo, the Bronx Zoo’s signature event for adults 21+, returns for one night only on Friday, June 12th from 6 PM – 11 PM with a dynamic lineup of beverage sampling, food trucks, interactive games, and music set throughout the zoo’s scenic grounds.
Brew at the Zoo is a staple of New York’s summer season that celebrates conservation and community in a one-of-a-kind, block party atmosphere. Guests are invited to encounter awe-inspiring animals and unwind at their own pace with food and drink throughout the evening. Select animal exhibits will be open until 7:30 PM, offering the unique chance to visit favorite species at dusk.
This year’s installment features 60+ pouring stations, 20+ food trucks, and 100+ beverage varieties, including wine, beer, seltzer, and non-alcoholic options. At food truck hubs, new fare for purchase will add to the night’s flavor – from Italian, Asian, and Mexican cuisines to barbecue, pizza, seafood, and more.
The vibrant evening will include returning favorites like inflatable axe throwing, lawn games, animal trivia, bingo, and karaoke, plus all-new entertainment and interactives:
- Live Music: Get into the groove with a live band and DJ programming staged throughout the park, including Latin and Afro-House sounds.
- Enhanced Glow Party: Explore a neon playscape featuring 360° photobooths, LED games, neon face paint, black lights, and more.
