Sunset Fridays at SF Zoo, the popular after-hours event for the whole family, returns to San Francisco Zoo & Gardens on Friday, August 7 and will run on consecutive Fridays (excluding September 25) thru October 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Playfield Lawn. Guests can enjoy live music performances from local bands, outdoor bars and gourmet bites, kid-friendly activities, special entertainment and new this year, access to the new Dinos Rule! exhibition (ticket required).
This fun evening event takes place in the open playfield area featuring the Elinor Friend Playground, historic Dentzel Carousel, and Great Lawn, where performances will be staged.
The live entertainment line-up is themed to different genres, a must-see for music fans.

The August 21st event will also include a salute to the Nature Trail’s 50th Anniversary. Nature Trail is the popular hands-on, summer youth volunteer program where teens ages 12-15 engage and educate the public about a variety of wildlife, mostly rescued or non-releasable animals that serve as ambassador animals of their species. Since 1976, more than 10,000 volunteers have gone through this career catalyst. A recognition ceremony will take place featuring current and former Nature Trailers.
