One of the Southeast’s most anticipated galas returns on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Beastly Feast presented by Norfolk Southern. Sophisticated elegance, a one-of-a-kind locale, and a celebrated silent auction are signatures of Zoo Atlanta’s largest annual fundraiser.
Guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on an evening stroll through the Zoo, followed by a seated dinner from Zoo Atlanta’s premier caterer, Proof of the Pudding; dancing in the Zoo’s Grand Pavilion, spectacularly appointed by Tony Brewer; and a silent auction featuring travel adventures, jewelry, art, sports and cultural opportunities, Zoo experiences, and more.
