The Brew at the Zoo event will be held rain or shine. All sales are final. In the event of inclement weather, patrons and vendors will be able to access indoor space. In the event of severe and dangerous weather, an alternate location/date or event cancellation may be chosen, organizers stated.

Interested visitors might not want to wait too long to get tickets; last year’s Brew at the Zoo event sold out soon after tickets went on sale.
