A Night of Wild Encounters and Western Vibes

This unique event offers guests a chance to get up close with one of the West’s largest mammals while enjoying hearty bites and bold cocktails. You’ll take in the rugged frontier ambiance of the Zoo’s grounds, transformed for a night of celebration and transformation.

As the sun sets over the lake, the fun kicks into high gear with live music and dancing. It’s a rare opportunity to kick up your boots and party beneath the stars, all while supporting the future of one of Abilene’s most treasured landmarks.
