Zoo Ball 2026

Zoo Ball 2026 — themed "Sunset on the Savanna" — is the Houston Zoo's annual black-tie gala fundraiser, running from 6:00 p.m. to midnight at the zoo's Masihara Pavilion. The evening supports the zoo's animal care, conservation, and education programs, with a particular focus this year on funding a major renovation of the rhino habitat slated for completion in early 2027, which will expand space for the zoo's southern white rhinos and add zebras to the exhibit. Guests can expect a celebratory gala-style evening in the tradition of past Zoo Ball events, which have featured seated dinners, live and silent auctions, entertainment, and dancing.
