Experience the twinkling magical wonderland of ZooLights—without any kids! 

Join us for our sixth annual BrewLights, presented by TriMet, a ZooLights brew festival experience for the 21-and-over crowd with more than 50 Northwest breweries and cideries to sample from. 

This year promises to be the brightest BrewLights yet, with a brand-new magical meadow light show, dozens of life-size animal lanterns along the train route and more interactive displays than ever. Walk through the famous tunnels of sparkling lights, pose next to colorful animals and make holiday memories to last all year. Enjoy live music, local food carts, and more.

BrewLights general admission tickets include a souvenir cup and 10 beverage tastings (3-oz beer/cider). Choose from 100 beer, seltzer and cider options from 50 Northwest breweries and cideries. A nondrinker ticket is also available for grown-ups interested in the lights without the alcohol.

Festivities begin at 4:30 p.m. for early entry ticketholders; general admission begins at 5:30 p.m. Taps close at 9:30 p.m., and the zoo closes at 10 p.m.
