About ZooNights featuring Garcia Birthday Band

Playing for over 20 years, GBB has evolved into something far deeper than the sum of its parts. The beating heart of the Pacific Northwest’s GD community, the band’s ever-expanding fanbase is an experience unto itself. Using the Dead’s repertoire as a springboard for limitless potential and improvisation, Garcia Birthday Band is a cornerstone of the modern Grateful Dead universe, and their fans have come to expect the unexpected as the norm. 

Celebrate summer at the zoo Fridays through August at ZooNights. Each evening is filled with live music, food carts, keeper chats and activities for all ages. Plus, animal encounters offer the chance to get to know wildlife up close. Experience the zoo after hours, with plenty of tasty treats like the zoo’s ever-popular elephant ears, as well as local beer and wine for adults.
