MIAMI (CBSMiami) – One of South Florida’s most anticipated events is returning to Zoo Miami on March 4th. It’s time to get wild at Feast With The Beasts, the annual Zoo Miami fundraiser that combines tastes from more than 40 South Florida restaurants, full open bars, wild animal encounters and live entertainment.

The Feast With The Beasts fundraiser helps support the Zoological Society of Florida’s wildlife education and conservation programs on behalf of Zoo Miami.

It provides delectable tastings from some of South Florida best restaurants, caterers and eateries.

When you’re done eating all that delicious food, you can burn off a few calories while enjoying the live entertainment by Jon Saxx and Endless Possibilities.

The theme this year brings awareness to Zoo Miami’s new, upcoming exhibit, Florida: Mission Everglades. The new area will showcase the beautiful and unique wildlife found in our own backyard.

Tickets for the Main Event (8 p.m. to midnight) are $250; and $500 per person for the VIP Party (7 to midnight). The VIP Party includes access to The Beastkeeper Lounge as well as admission to the Main Event. Visit www.FWTB.org or call 305-255-5551 for more information.

Zoo Miami is located at 12400 SW 152 Street in Miami.

This is an adults only event for ages 21 and older.
