ZOOFARI 2027

7:15-11 p.m.
Friday, June 11, 2027

Attend a party with a purpose! Dress in safari-inspired summer cocktail attire as we celebrate the Zoo's conservation efforts. Indulge in sweet and savory bites from dozens of St. Louis restaurants, sip refreshing drinks and dance the night away with a nationally acclaimed cover band on the main stage.

ZOOFARI is a 21+ event. Tickets go on sale in December.

Be a sponsor and help support a celebration that makes an impact.

There is no charge to participate in ZOOFARI. We ask that vendors provide 800 food samples to feed our party guests. In return for your participation, each restaurant receives two complimentary tickets to the event, as well as name recognition in the event program and on the Zoo's website.

Applications for interested restaurant vendors will be available soon.
