August in Milwaukee means A La Carte at the Zoo! Our popular food and music festival has become a summer tradition for Zoo fans. Stroll through the Zoo to enjoy delicious dishes from well-known restaurants, and groove to local and national entertainment performing on six stages throughout the park.   

The 2024 festival welcomes these national performers:
Thursday, August 15              Deep Blue Something
Friday, August 16                   Parmalee
Saturday, August 17              The Legendary Wailers featuring Junior Marvin

Headliners perform at 7 p.m. on the Miller Lite Caribou Stage.*

 

* All musical entertainment is included with Zoo admission. Food, special attractions, and rides are offered for an additional fee. Zoological Society membership is valid for A La Carte.

Food and beverage vendors will accept credit or debit cards only — no cash. A cash-to-card kiosk will be available in the U.S. Bank Gathering Place to convert cash to a pre-paid card if needed. Cash, credit, and debit cards are all accepted for admission, parking, merchandise, and attractions.

 

Beginning July 12, reduced admission tickets for A La Carte are available at Tri City National Bank locations, while supplies last.
