What comes to mind when you think of “Summer?” Vacations, swimming, fireworks, cookouts, just to name a few. When summer comes around at the Indianapolis Zoo, we think of our summer concert series Animals and All That Jazz presented by First Farmers Bank & Trust. Every Thursday night from now thru August 1, guests can come and enjoy a lineup of musicians from all throughout the Midwest covering a wide variety of jazz genres. From classic to contemporary, smooth to soul blues, and even sounds of pop and R&B.
That’s not just it, all concerts are included with Zoo admission. All animals will be on exhibit until 7pm, so be sure to arrive early before the concert begins to visit your favorite animals. Don’t forget to bring your appetite to this groovy event. Every night, there will be specialty food that features a delicious new menu. Don’t worry, there also be express service options such as Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Fresh Fruit, and veggie wraps. For guests 21 and over, there will be a full bar provided by Hotel Tango and Daniels Vineyard. Make sure to bring a chair, there will be a limited number of tables and chairs as they are first-come, first-served.
All performances will take place under the Bicentennial Pavilion, located near the Zoo’s entrance.
