Press Release: The 21st annual WaZoo BeerFest, presented by J.J. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc., is springing forward to May 7 with new twists on tap for this favorite fundraiser. All-inclusive tickets are now on sale at www.LowryParkZoo.org/WaZoo or at the Zoo’s ticket windows during regular business hours.
WaZoo features 250+ beers and beverages from 70 breweries worldwide, a variety of savory pub fare, live entertainment and free daytime admission to return in May. Ticket prices are all-inclusive; pay once and enjoy unlimited tastings and entertainment! Advance general admission tickets are $65 (through May 6) and VIP Beastly Beer Club tickets are $125 until sold out. Zoo Annual Members can purchase discounted general admission tickets of $50 (through May 6) with valid membership card at the Zoo’s ticket windows.
New this year, the footprint of the event has expanded to include more areas of the Zoo which will be accessible to all guests. A select number of animal habitats will be available for viewing, weather permitting. In addition, “animal ambassadors” will welcome guests and there will be fun outdoor games like corn hole scattered throughout.
Also on tap this year, the Zoo is taking the VIP Beastly Beer Club to a whole new level. The VIP Club is an exclusive experience that takes place inside the Zoo’s Safari Lodge events pavilion — the premier air-conditioned space at the event. VIP guests will have the opportunity to meet Florida craft beer brewmasters, enjoy beer and food parings, discover exclusive brews, and sit back and relax with live music. VIP tickets include access to all event areas and early entry. The number of VIP Club tickets available has been significantly reduced to provide a more exclusive experience.
The Zoo gratefully acknowledges presenting sponsor J.J. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc., for making this event possible. Proceeds of the event benefit animal care, education programs and global conservation initiatives of Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo. For more, visit www.LowryParkZoo.org/WaZoo or the WaZoo Facebook page.
