Nothing says summer in Portland like a warm evening outdoors with good food and live entertainment. Over the course of 10 Fridays from June to August, the Oregon Zoo invites you to Oregon Zoo Nights: evenings filled with local music, food carts, activities for all ages, and the chance to get to know some of the animals active during twilight hours.
Live music will begin on the lawn at 6:30 p.m. and activities from 5:30 p.m. on. Food and snacks from local food trucks will be available, plus the ever-popular elephant ears, and a selection of local beer and wine for adults.
June 30 – Jackstraw
Jackstraw was born when rhythm guitarist Darrin Craig and lead player Jon Neufeld, met mandolin picker David Pugh and bassist Jesse Withers in 1997 at Artichoke Music – a Portland guitar store and acoustic music institution. Not long after their formation, Jackstraw recorded their first album and hit the road. Five albums later, Jackstraw is now a Northwest institution. While they typically play bluegrass, Jackstraw also has a deep collection of well-crafted originals and performs honky-tonk and rock ‘n roll as well.

Oregon Zoo Nights is a special event and is not included in regular daytime admission. Tickets must be purchased online in advance.
Music heals, creates peace, and memories for a lifetime. I’d like to keep live music in the lives of my children whenever possible. Plus zoo concerts are so fun!
Sounds like fun and I’d love to go because it’s my Birthday and what a great way to celebrate!!!
This sounds like so much fun!
I would love to go.
As parents of 3 special needs kiddos age 11, 4 and 3. We rarely get a break let alone time to spend with each other. This looks like so much fun in the sun and we would be humbled if we won. Even if we took the kids, it would be amazing.
Good luck to everyone
I would love to win this because I have been wanting to visit the Oregon Zoo ever since I visited Oregon 3 years ago. I recently moved here from South Georgia to be with my boyfriend, who I will have been with for 5 years on this upcoming July 5th and I cannot imagine a more perfect or magical place to celebrate our anniversary! We love exploring all over Portland, whether it be deep in the forests with the waterfalls or visiting the museums and seasonal flower gardens to playing pinball at all the late night bars; and to win these tickets would be an absolute dream to surprise my special boogin with <3
