The Beastly Bash is the Minnesota Zoo Foundation’s premier fundraising event in support of the Minnesota Zoo. New this year is a two-day event to create community connections in nature at the Minnesota Zoo. We want to inspire hope for humans, animals, and our planet by fostering new community connections and a rediscovery of nature at the Minnesota Zoo. This new two-day event will welcome in community and bring heightened focus on raising funds for the Minnesota Zoo.  This event would take place on Friday September 22nd with an evolved Bash at night and a foundation hosted Zoo Giving Day on Saturday September 23. Event and programming will celebrate the Treetop Trail as a literal bridge to the Zoo expanding on its mission to connect people with nature, all packaged in a Nighttime and Daytime in the Forest theme.

We are requesting passes for Valleyfair for summer of 2024 to be included in this September 2023 Beastly Bash The Gala as an auction item.
