Join us for Ross Park Zoo's annual Feast for the Beasts, a premier fundraising event dedicated to the care and nutrition of our animal residents. The 2026 event will be held on Wednesday, May 20, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
By attending this yearās event, you can help us reach our $50,000 goal to directly cover the zoo's annual food costs for its diverse animals. Your participation helps us manage significant dietary needs, such as:
Specialized Diets: With four red pandas at the zoo, the weekly cost for their bamboo alone exceeds $200.
Conservation Support: Proceeds support our work with critically endangered American Red Wolves and our role as an AZA Species Survival Plan (SSP) Sustainability Partner for species like the African Penguin.
Evening Festivities
