Beastly Bash 2026

Join the Minnesota Zoo Foundation for Beastly Bash, an evening gala under the stars. The Foundation describes live entertainment, animal demonstrations, food and drink, and a fundraiser for the Zoo’s wildlife work (goal stated on the ticket site as $850,000). The silent and live auction opens ahead of the gala; bidding is open even if you are not attending. Tickets, sponsorship, auction donations, and volunteer sign-up are at aesbid.com/ELP/MNZOO26/. The Foundation’s events page is mnzoofoundation.org/events. Ticket price is not posted as a dollar amount on those official pages, so Scoop is not listing a cover here. Check the ticket site before you go. All ticket sales and donations benefit the Minnesota Zoo.
