Zoobrew Edmonton 2026 (Volumes 1, 2 & 3)

**This 2026 season has ended** — three summer evenings at the Edmonton Valley Zoo run by the Valley Zoo Development Society (a registered charity). Kept here for reference and search discovery. Expect a similar three-night structure in 2027 — vendor applications typically open annually via events@buildingourzoo.com. **2026 dates (all now past)** - **Vol 1** — Saturday June 20 - **Vol 2** — Saturday July 18 - **Vol 3** — Friday August 21 **Format**: Single-tier $33.50 entry gets you into the event + a take-home Zoobrew sampling mug and lanyard. Beverage samples are purchased separately via ~$20 sample-ticket sheets at the ticket booth (AGLC-compliant — sample tickets replace cash at vendor booths). 18+ only, valid photo ID required. **Charitable mission**: 100% of vendor proceeds support the zoo. 2026 proceeds directed to Project Carnivora — the renovation of snow leopard and Canadian lynx habitats. **Scale**: 9th year running; draws 1,600-1,800 guests per night, 5,400+ across the season; 25+ local breweries and distilleries per night (past participants include Banded Peak Brewing). Participation is free for breweries who donate 100% of proceeds to the Valley Zoo Development Society. **Extras**: live music, street performers/roaming entertainers, exclusive animal talks, food trucks on-site (purchased separately). Zoo last-admission moves to 3pm on Zoobrew days.
