Tickets are now on sale for the wildest party of the year – Roger Williams Park Zoo’s 33rd annual fundraising bash, “Zoobilee! Party With a Purpose,” presented by BankRI.  Zoobilee is the Zoo’s largest single-night fundraiser. Guests will enjoy live music, dancing, and other fun surprises!

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, June 28, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., rain or shine.

Guests will feast on fine food and drink from over 35 local favorites such as Chaska, Legal Seafood, Shake Shack, J.B’s on the Water and more! Zoo-themed cocktails like Safari Spritz and Penguin Plunge will be shaken and stirred at the popular “Zootini Bar” by premier beverage sponsor Douglas Wine & Spirits.

The night’s entertainment includes live music by New England’s premiere party band, Mystique, a wine and beer bottle bazaar, and the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the Zoo’s ambassador animals. You never know what wild critters you might meet!

In addition to the great party, there is an online auction with a wide variety of unique items and experiences. The auction offers over 100 items, including priceless behind-the-scenes animal encounters, sports memorabilia, exciting getaways, unique entertainment packages and more. Visit biddingforgood.com/rwpzooauction to browse and bid in the auction through July 1.

The funds generated from the event help to underwrite the Zoo’s animal care and award-winning environmental education and conservation programs. These programs include the conservation of threatened and endangered species in New England and worldwide and essential community outreach efforts, such as the Zoomobile, which bring science and environmental education to thousands of local school-aged children and other participants each year.
