EARTH Bash is back in 2024!
The Benefit EARTH Bash is our largest annual fundraiser, and proceeds support our many education programs such as internships, Docent/Volunteer training, Rhino Encounters, ZooMobiles, Wild Adventure Programs, Jr ZooKeeping, and more!
Guests will enjoy an evening of adventure and explore Southwick’s Zoo after-hours. Learn more about the zoo’s animal ambassadors, watch keeper talks and feeding sessions, get a bird’s eye view of the festivities from the Skyfari, enjoy a relaxing ride through the zoo on our train, dance to live music performed by The Pub Kings, and more!
As with previous EARTH Bash fundraisers, guests can also look forward to appetizers and cocktail stations, a delicious dinner, and an auction.
