With live music, craft beer, food trucks, a costume contest, performance artists, and DJ Squirrel spinning spooky beats, it’s a wicked night of fun, all in the name of conservation.

For guests who’d like to showcase their creativity beyond their costume, new this year FONZ will host a Day of the Dead contest where participants will create elaborately decorated scenes to be displayed and judged at the event. The winner will receive an exclusive Zoo experience and recognition at the event. For additional information and to register visit fonz.org/nolz.
