The Lincoln Children’s Zoo is gearing up for it’s annual Brews at the Zoo summer concert series. “Brews at the Zoo is a one-of-a-kind experience where attendees will enjoy live performances from local bands, up-close visits from animal ambassadors, and a wide selection of local craft beer, cider, and seltzer, all while exploring the Zoo after hours,” says Communications Director Erin Lenz.
“This year’s lineup brings back some fan favorites, including the third annual Brews at the Zoo Fall Fest, along with another exciting new addition, Country Night.” Lenz says this brand-new themed evening will feature live country music and interactive line dancing lessons, giving guests a chance to kick up their boots and join in the fun.
