The Beastly Bash is the Minnesota Zoo Foundation’s premier fundraising event in support of the Minnesota Zoo. It 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 two-day event will welcome in community and bring heightened focus on raising funds for the Minnesota Zoo. This event will take place on Friday, September 20th with an evolved Bash at night and a foundation hosted Zoo Giving Day on Saturday, September 21. We anticipate 700 attendees at The Gala and the silent auction link will be sent to 350,000 email addresses.

We are requesting passes for Valleyfair for summer of 2025 to be included in this September 2024 Beastly Bash The Gala as an auction item. If you are unable to provide tickets for 2025 we would welcome a four pack or more of vouchers from Sept 20, 2024 to the close of the Valley Fair 2024 season.
