Feast with the Beasts 2026 brings conservation, community, and cuisine together in South Florida

A signature fundraising evening returns in 2026, blending wildlife conservation, culinary excellence, and community engagement into one immersive experience

Feast with the Beasts 2026 is set for March 6 and is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated philanthropic events in South Florida. Designed as an adults-only (21+), rain-or-shine evening, the annual gathering supports the mission of the Zoo Miami Foundation to inspire environmental stewardship through education, fundraising, and community connection—an increasingly important priority for Miami-Dade County residents navigating regional growth and sustainability challenges.

A fundraiser that connects conservation and community

At its core, Feast with the Beasts reflects a broader South Florida trend: mission-driven events that combine entertainment with public education and community awareness. Guests are invited to enjoy cuisine from top regional restaurants, curated wine and spirits, live entertainment, and rare opportunities to encounter animals up close. Beyond the experience itself, the event serves as a platform for strengthening relationships among civic leaders, business professionals, and residents who share an interest in conservation and regional responsibility.

By creating an engaging, social environment around wildlife preservation, the event advances public understanding of why protecting natural ecosystems matters—not just globally, but locally, for Miami-Dade County’s future quality of life.

Why events like this matter regionally

Large-scale fundraising events play a critical role in sustaining nonprofit organizations that support public education and environmental initiatives across South Florida. Proceeds from Feast with the Beasts directly support conservation programs, educational outreach, and long-term planning efforts that benefit the broader community. The event’s silent auction further amplifies impact, allowing attendees to contribute while supporting cultural and philanthropic causes tied to regional trends in sustainability and civic engagement.

The cocktail-attire evening also offers sponsorship opportunities for 2026 and 2027, providing businesses with high-visibility brand exposure while aligning with a respected conservation mission.

As Miami-Dade County continues to balance growth with environmental responsibility, events like Feast with the Beasts highlight how community engagement and philanthropy can work together to support public-interest initiatives.
