This Sacramento happy hour has cocktails, music and zoo animals. Here’s when it starts
Picture this: You’re under the stars with a drink in one hand and food in another, listening to live music and the sound of bustling animals.
The Sacramento Zoo in Land Park kicks off its Thursday happy hour events next month. For $25 ($20 for zoo members) you get picks of a variety of “pub food” like street tacos, barbecue and wood-fired pizza, according to the zoo’s website.
Drinks — non-alcoholic drinks and beer, wine and cocktails in a can — will be available for purchase.
The six-piece dance band, The Ryan Hernandez Band, will take the zoo’s stage in April with a mix of pop, 70s and 80s, R&B and soft rock. Northern California party band Cover Me Badd and Sacramento-based band Peter Petty & his Terpsichoreans are slated for the spring.
The social is from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 20. Upcoming happy hours are scheduled for May 18 and June 15. Non-members who buy tickets to all three events at the same time save $15. Zoo members save $10.
IDs will be checked at the door and “no one under 21 will be admitted,” the zoo wrote on its website.
Limited and non-refundable tickets are available through the zoo’s website.
