Nothing says summer in Portland like a warm evening outdoors with good food and live entertainment. Over the course of 10 Friday's from June to August, the Oregon Zoo hosts Zoo Nights: evenings filled with local music, food carts, activities for all ages, and the chance to get to know some of the animals active during twilight hours.
Food and snacks from local food trucks will be available, plus the ever-popular elephant ears, and selection of local beer and wine for adults.
Tickets will be available starting April 24.
