M&T Bank presents “Brew at the Zoo,” the annual outdoor festival at The
Maryland Zoo in Baltimore on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26 from 1 p.m. – 7 p.m. each day.

This fun, family-friendly event provides guests with the opportunity for unlimited sampling of a diverse assortment of local and national beers, while absorbing some local live music. It’s also the biggest fundraiser for the Zoo, supporting the Zoo’s education, conservation and animal programs! In addition to live music, a DJ stage and over 80 cold beer selections, there will be visits from the Zoo’s animal ambassadors, and the opportunity to tour the Zoo to visit with all your favorite (party) animals including the penguins at the award-winning Penguin Coast exhibit.
