Sophisticated elegance, a unique locale and a spectacular auction make The Beastly Feast one of Atlanta’s most highly anticipated galas.
Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 6 p.m.
All proceeds from The Beastly Feast benefit Zoo Atlanta’s innovative and award-winning education programs and local and global conservation efforts.
What is the dress code for the event?
The Beastly Feast gala is black-tie optional, so formal evening attire is encouraged. Men typically wear tuxedos or dark suits, and women wear long gowns or elegant cocktail attire. The event is held outdoors starting with a sunset stroll through the Zoo followed by dinner served under the Grand Pavilion tent, so dress for formal elegance while keeping seasonal weather and comfort in mind.
Are children allowed to attend?
Beastly Feast is an adults-only event due to the presence of alcohol and the formal nature of the evening. While older teenagers have occasionally attended in the past, the event is generally not suited for children.
What happens if it rains or storms?
Beastly Feast will be held rain or shine. In the case of inclement weather, every reasonable effort will be made to ensure guest comfort and safety. We encourage guests to be aware of the forecast and plan accordingly.
I have special accessibility needs. Can the event accommodate me?
Yes. Zoo Atlanta is fully ADA-compliant, and we are happy to accommodate special accessibility needs. Please contact us at
