We invite you to support our 20th-anniversary celebration: Zoolebration!

This year’s event will highlight the story of the Red River Zoo, our past successes, and future plans. Guests will stroll the Zoo’s pathways enjoying live music, food and beverages, and exciting animal experiences.

The Red River Zoo is a community treasure- a place where children and adults create magical memories that last a lifetime. Being a part of Zoolebration is one way to preserve these moments for families and for future generations.

Zoolebration is more than just a great party – it raises critical funds to support the Zoo’s mission of celebrating and saving wildlife.

Treat yourself to an exquisite evening at the Zoo on Friday, September 20th.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for $50 through September 1st.
After September 1st, tickets are $75.

Zoolebration is a 21 and over event.
