Zoo After Dark — salsa night featuring mamboson

About this event

The LA Zoo summer event series features four themed evenings of live music, a silent disco, lawn games, food trucks, and full bars. Each night has its own sound, its own crowd, and its own energy. Pick one or come back for all four. All four nights include: LIVE MUSIC AND DANCING: A live band for each of the four themed nights! SILENT DISCO: Invisible Touch Events brings the silent disco to the zoo all four nights. Pick up your wireless LED headphones at Red Ape Rainforest Plaza and choose from three live DJ channels. Switch whenever you want, control your own volume, and dance, dance, dance! LAWN GAMES AND ACTIVITIES: The Family Fun Area at Bird Show Picnic Area is open from 6 to 8:30 p.m. with lawn games and family-friendly activities. FOOD TRUCKS: A full line-up of specialty food trucks for each night! FULL BARS: Enjoy a beer, wine or your favorite cocktail! * During evening events, the animals at the Zoo may be resting in their night quarters. Two left feet? No problem. Mamboson starts the evening with a free salsa dance lesson at 6:30 p.m. before two live sets of Latin music at 7 and 8:15 p.m. Learn the steps, find your rhythm, and dance the night away.
