Mark your calendars! Everyone's favorite all-inclusive food festival will be returning to Lowry Park Zoo on Saturday, November 2 at 7pm. This will mark Zoofari's 27th year of providing wild fun, and it is sure to be another great success!

Keep in mind that this is a food festival so it's a good idea to bring a big appetite! Guests will be able to enjoy samplings from more than 50 local restaurants all in one day! Some of the participating restaurants include Seasons 52, EVOS, BJ's Brewhouse, Tiujana Flats, and Texas de Brazil. It will be like a buffet complete with everyone's favorite restaurants.

So much food can make one quite thirsty. Fortunately, there will be open bars all night long! Be sure to arrange a cab or bring a designated driver so that you can take full advantage of those free drinks.

When you're not indulging on grub, check out the "Art Safari" art auction. There will be art displayed and for sale by Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo Animal Artwork, Joel Loeper, Jacqueline Frierman, David Beebe, Jeanne Forsythe, Virginia Butler, Gina Palumbo, and Ryan Mcghee. There will also be live music on multiple stages by Shaun Hoper, Soul Circus Cowboys, Mud Flappers, Rebecca Zapen, and Beth McKee. Robert Randolph & The Family Band will be performing on the TD Bank Main Stage.

Sound like fun? Of course it does! Tickets can be purchased online for $75 or over the phone for $80 until November 1st at 5pm. Tickets will be $85 at the door.
