Animals & All That Jazz brings live music to the Indianapolis Zoo’s Bicentennial Pavilion on Thursday evenings. The summer concert series features Midwest musicians performing jazz, soul, blues, pop and R&B in an open-air venue that runs rain or shine.
The event is included with regular Zoo admission and free for Zoo members. Guests may bring their own chairs, and a limited number of tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Live music runs from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Animals are on exhibit until 7 p.m., and rides are available until 7 p.m., weather permitting. A specialty food menu is available each week at Pavilion Café, along with a cash bar for guests 21 and older.
