Summer Ale Festival
Lions & Tigers & Beers, Oh My!
The WILDEST beer festival in Philly is returning to Philadelphia Zoo this summer!
We’re bringing more than 100 award-winning craft beers, ciders, hard iced teas, hard seltzers, local food trucks, and live music to our 42-acre campus for the wildest festival of the season! Summer Ale Festival is the only beer celebration in the region where guests can visit animals like big cats, great apes, and more. Experience a different side of the Zoo at this one-of-a-kind, adults-only event!
NEW FOR THIS YEAR: Three musical performers will be taking the stage for this year’s festival: Moon Poodle, Marielle Kraft, and Nik Greely & the Operators.
Summer Ale Fest is limited to those 21 or older with valid identification. Tickets are available exclusively through our website and will not be available for purchase at the door. Taps close at 9:30 PM.
