May 29 @ 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT

Everyone knows girls just want to have fun, so we decided to throw a party like no other at ZooGrooves: Girls Night Out! 👯‍♀️ 

Hit up your group chat, put on your most fabulous “I Have Nowhere to Wear This” outfit, and channel all the main character energy as you paint the town (or should we say Zoo?) pink at this Belfast Brunch-inspired celebration! Think the best brunch vibes meet the most epic sing-along dance party 🪩 

This is your chance to dance the night away while singing along to DJ Melody’s iconic girl power anthems setlist 🎤, strike an Instagram worthy pose with celebrity-themed photo ops (we see you Shane and Ilya)  📷, meet all-female Animal Ambassadors 🦉, toast to magical memories with brunch cocktails 🥂, support wildlife conservation through a wild Silent Auction 🐯, and shop a market of 100% women-owned businesses. 🛍️ The best part? You’ll still be home early enough to do your full skincare routine! 🧼

We’ll keep this request short n’ sweet 💋 – please, please, please get your tickets here! 🎟️ Event takes place rain or shine.

**Attendees are welcome to bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets, etc. to enjoy the live music. Seating will not be provided.
