Zoo brings back popular Roaring Nights for grown-ups this summer.

Beastly Boogie

The L.A. Zoo’s Roaring Nights summer series is back and better than ever – offering fun, fascinating explorations at the intersection of music, art, and wildlife on select Fridays in June, July, August, and September. Guests 21 and older are invited to travel through an expanded area of the zoo until 8 p.m., with special animal encounters, feedings, and keeper talks. Once the sun sets, the focus shifts to music, with live bands, DJs, and an immersive silent disco experience. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy interactive art activities and classic backyard games, dine on fare from L.A.’s favorite food trucks and enjoy specialty cocktails and “glamping” vibes at the Watering Hole, an open-air lounge. Zoo talks and special feedings will also be featured.

Here’s the schedule (hours for each night are 6 – 10:30 p.m.):

  • Friday, June 28, featuring DJ Richard Blade, Flash Back Heart Attack, DJAvi Bernard, Chulita Vinyl Club and HUSH Silent Disco
  • Friday, July 19, featuring DJ Severe, Fast Times, DJ Johnny Hawkes, Chulita Vinyl Club and HUSH Silent Disco
