Welcome to the Jungle (21+ Event)

Need to warm up this winter?  A tropical jungle is closer than you think!  

Take a break from the winter weather and enjoy a rainforest-inspired evening at the National Aviary’s 21+ fundraiser! 

Whether you are the type to shake your tail feather on the dance floor or channel your inner sloth beneath our tropical trees, there is something for everyone at the National Aviary.

Sip beer, wine or a signature tropical cocktail, mingle with colorful birds, and even hang with our resident sloth and armadillo all while supporting the National Aviary’s important work in conservation, education and veterinary medicine.
