DES MOINES, Iowa — The Blank Park Zoo is bringing back Zoo Brew.
The fundraising event kicks off June 2 and will be held every Wednesday through the end of August with limited capacity.
The zoo currently requires masks indoors and outdoors when people can’t socially distance, but COVID policies are subject to change during the season.
The zoo said it has lost a significant amount of revenue because of the pandemic.
"We are excited about the return of this summertime, adults-only event at Blank Park Zoo," said Jennifer Harmeyer, the Blank Park Zoo director of special events. "This is the non-profit Zoo’s largest fundraiser of the year and we are glad we can bring it back."
