Santa Ana Zoo Announces Summer Nights With Music and Brews Events

Santa Ana Zoo Announces 2016 Summer Concert Series & Beer Tasting Event Dates

Santa Ana Zoo Welcomes Summer with Music and Brews!


OC Residents Get Ready to Swing into Summer with Cool Line Up of Musical Talent and Local Craft Breweries.

Are you ready for some outdoor local fun? I am!

The Santa Ana Zoo’s “Sunsets at the Zoo” summer concert series and “Brew at the Zoo” beer-tasting events sponsored by Guaranty Chevrolet of Santa Ana & the Friends of Santa Ana Zoo (FOSAZ) return by popular demand again this summer adding a fifth night! 

The first summer concert and brew-tasting event will take place Sunday, June 12th at 5:30 pm.
Here are all the details!

Tickets can be purchased online at www.santaanazoo.org or at the gate on the night of the event.

Visit the zoo animals in this rare after-hours experience as they prepare for their nighttime activities, enjoy live music, a silent auction, train/carousel rides, as well as a unique craft brew-tasting experience from a handful of Orange County’s finest craft beer brewers.

“The combination of Sunsets at the Zoo and Brew at the Zoo makes for an event every generation can enjoy,” says FOSAZ Board Member Kristeen Stolo, “It’s a casual, cool event for families, friends and even first dates.”

Sounds great to me... fun for all, animal, music and brew... I am there!

Zoo members and guests are welcome to grab their cameras, bring a blanket, pack a picnic or purchase BBQ items provided by the SA Zoo keepers, and enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled musical evening outside under the California sky. 

All proceeds raised this year will go towards the Santa Ana Zoo's capital campaign for the upcoming Giant River Otter Habitat. 

We love that the Santa Ana Zoo is part of the SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program through AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums).
