Discover the magic of the Los Angeles Zoo in a whole new light with an electrifying lineup of adults-only and family-friendly summer evening events that are sure to delight animal lovers and partygoers alike. From the wildly popular Roaring Nights and Zoo Friday Nights events to the highly anticipated Brew at the L.A. Zoo: A Sip & Stroll Event, the Zoo is set to host a series of unforgettable experiences that promise an evening of fun in support of the Zoo’s mission. 

Roaring Nights – Saturdays, July 13 and Sept. 14, 2024

Gather your brat pack to celebrate one of the most outrageous decades—the 1980s—with the return of Roaring Nights on Saturdays July 13 and Sept. 14, 2024.  This wildly popular 21-and-up event invites guests to don their most radical neon and acid wash for an ‘80s dance party that’s as decadent as the decade. From totally tubular live music and an immersive silent disco to retro photo ops, a paint party, and special animal presentations, these nights will transport guests to the ultimate era of dance, music, and big hair. On July 13, the AstroYachts, a local “yacht rock” revue band, will bring their ultra-smooth vocals that will keep the crowd sailing on through the night; and on Sept. 14, Flashback Heart Attack, one of SoCal’s most popular cover bands, will pump out the high energy hits of the ‘80s. These events will also have a full bar and food truck offerings for an additional fee. And, ’80s attire is strongly encouraged. Tickets are $25 for non-members and $20 for GLAZA members.

The evening’s musical lineup includes popular KCRW DJs Tyler Boudreaux and Raul Campos, who will deliver a truly eclectic listening experience; DJ Johnny Hawkes, renowned for his electrifying performances that are a popular mix of hip hop, dance, and classic hits; and live music.
