Unleash your wild side at Beastro — the Fort Worth Zoo’s 14th annual music and tasting event. The Fri., May 20 event is returning after a two-year hiatus + tickets are selling fast, we’re not lion. Here’s a quick guide with everything you need to know.

💸 How your support helps

Proceeds from the event support the Zoo’s local and international wildlife conservation and education efforts. DYK: the Zoo established its first-ever educational program in 1970 + now teaches thousands of kids about wildlife and conservation efforts every year.

🍽️ Feed your wild side

Get ready to see the Zoo in a whole new way — local restaurants will set up booths throughout the park to serve guests appetizers, entrees, desserts + drinks.

Once you fuel up, dance the night away with live music in Texas Town, Safari Village, and The Reserve in the African Savanna. Guests can enjoy performances from local artists Big City Outlaws, Georgia Bridgewater, and Phil Pritchett.

Several animal exhibits will remain open until sunset + the Zoo’s Wild Wonders Outreach animals will greet partygoers.

🎟️ Party with the animals

General admission tickets are $110 and include all food, drinks, and entertainment.
Party Animal tickets sold out quickly, just after we announced the event's return.

Tickets are available for purchase until 12 p.m. on Friday, May 20 — or until sold out. Bonus: Zoo members save 10% on tickets.

💡 Pro tip

Time to pull out those zebra print dresses and alligator shorts. Attire for the event is summer chic — think sundresses, casual button-downs, shorts + comfortable shoes. Guests must be 21+ in order to attend.
