Zootoberfest

Zootoberfest has ended for the season. See you next year!

Celebrate Zootoberfest! This special fall gathering pairs the fun atmosphere of a Bavarian beer fest with the amazing wildlife found only at the zoo. Fill your stein with offerings from the finest breweries and cideries in the Northwest and enjoy live music, food carts, animal encounters, keeper chats and more. Raise a toast to wildlife in the zoo's beautiful, woodsy surroundings — perfect for fall vibes.

• 40+ breweries and cideries offering 3 oz samples of their seasonal selections
• Live music featuring Rockit Radio
• Over 10 food vendors, including fall favorites Brat Haus and Portland Pretzel & Popcorn Co.
• View animals like Tula-Tu, our baby Asian elephant, hear a keeper chat from our primates team about orangutans, and more! 

Zootoberfest is a 21+ event. Every ticket purchased helps the Oregon Zoo protect endangered species at home and around the world.

Dress for the occasion in your lederhosen, dirndl or favorite animal costume! But remember, no full-face masks, inflatable costumes, weapons, obscenity, or anything that could cause disturbance to either patrons or animals.
