Join us in celebrating the 44th annual Zoofari gala, hosted by Friends of the Louisville Zoo, on Friday, June 13, 2025. This year, we are honoring three members of the Louisville Zoo’s majestic family: snow leopards Kimti, Meru, and NeeCee. Our night of “Elegance in the Wild” will include signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, live music by Best Kept Secret, a silent auction, a bourbon pull, and more!

Don’t miss out on special opportunities available to sponsors, including animal encounters, VIP options, and a unique live auction. There is no other party in town like this!

All proceeds will support the enhancement and expansion of the Louisville Zoo.
Please note that this event is for guests who are 21+ only.
