GrowlFest 2018 Sponsored by Rotary of Norfolk

September 15, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$10 – $25

Come get your growl on at the Virginia Zoo! Join us for a fun-filled evening of beer, food trucks, a DJ and games at Growl Fest to benefit the Sunrise and Downtown Rotary Clubs of Norfolk and the Virginia Zoo.

Local breweries will each be serving up two of their favorite brews, attendees can feast from the area’s best food trucks, and there will be a Children’s Play Area hosted by the YMCA of South Hampton Roads. Growl Fest includes exclusive after-hours access to the Zoo, with the animals on exhibit until 7 pm. This is fun for the whole family or a group of your wildest friends.

Ticket cost will increase by $10 the day of the event. Rain or Shine.

The Adult Beer ticket must be purchased for anyone wanting to drink beer or wine at the event.

The first 1,000 Adult Beer ticket purchasers will receive the commemorative 2018 Growl Fest growler.
