A generous thank you to our 2009 Sponsors.

Launched in the fall of 2006 as a fundraiser for the Houston Zoo, Feast with the Beasts was an instant hit! The Zoo’s naturally wild environment and 4,500 animals offer an unprecedented venue for this wine and food event.

Where else can you dine while watching a
tiger eat his dinner?

The 2006 event had 33 restaurant participants. The event has grown to feature 50 Houston-area restaurants, all serving their best dish.

In 2008 we added the Beastly Battle – a chance for guests to vote for their favorite cuisine. This popular addition will be back for this year's Feast with the Beasts. Will Taste of Texas take home top honors again this year?

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, an internationally-known swing band with smash hits “You & Me & The Bottle Makes Three Tonight (Baby)” and “Go Daddy-O”, adds a new and exciting musical element to the event.

VIP Lounge Tickets are Sold Out!
We’re also adding a VIP ticket this year. If you want to be the first on the scene, this is the ticket for you! VIPs will receive early entry into the event and can chill out in our “Bud Light Lounge hosted by Rod Ryan.”

Guests must be 21 or older to attend.
Valid form of ID required for admission.
No outside food or beverages allowed.
Tickets are non-refundable.

This event will occur rain or shine.
