EVENT SPONSORSHIP

Between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., this fun and unique event is an opportunity for food and beverage establishments and suppliers to showcase their product or get the word out about a new business to more than 600 guests. Guests will interact close up with roving zoo staff holding animals, pose for photos, watch painting demonstrations by Lucy the Asian elephant, partake in raffles and bid on unique live and silent auction items. We set up food tents strategically within the Zoo so that each establishment will be given a key location for best exposure. Food vendors are only required to be set up until 9:30 p.m. but are welcome to stay until the gates close at 11:00 p.m.

Food and Beverage providers in the Adult Area must be operational at 6 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and can move offsite at 9:30 p.m.

Food and Beverage providers in the Kidz Zone must be operational at 5 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and can move offsite at 8:30 p.m.

To our Food and Beverage Sponsors: We ask you to be prepared to offer a sample for 400 + guests. They must complete AHS Restaurant Forms, attend the day of the event and provide a logo for promotional purposes.
