The animals are counting down the days to our 20th anniversary gala and so should you! Help us honor the milestone while enjoying the best of Denver – with fine food, libations and live entertainment.

Dine on exotic dishes from around the city as more than 50 of Denver’s top restaurants serve their best menu items, while toasting spirits from around the world. Experience music, dancing and close-up animal encounters in the incomparable setting of Denver Zoo at twilight.

We’re looking back – and honoring the accomplishments made by proceeds from past parties.
