Cheers to Conservation
It’s that time of year again—OktoBEARfest is back!
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 1:00–7:00 p.m., Woodland Park Zoo transforms into your own personal beer garden. Get ready to taste your way through 50 Northwest breweries, cideries, and meaderies.
With the entire zoo open and kid-free, you’ll get the chance to adventure through exhibits with a drink in hand—sampling your favorite local pours and discovering bold new brews along the way.
Whether you’re on the hunt for your next favorite pour or simply looking for a wildly unique day out with friends, OktoBEARfest is the perfect way to celebrate fall.
Each ticket purchase supports conservation efforts locally and around the world.
