Brew Lights
JAN 2
7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
The holidays don’t stop on December 25!
Join us after the gifts—but before the resolution—for Brew Lights, a two-night craft beer celebration nestled in the dazzling glow of Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The main event will be held in a temperature-controlled tent at our Water's Edge Events Park, however guests also have access to the Wildlights as well.
This experience for guests age 21+ invites you to sip and stroll your way through tasting stations featuring seasonal brews, bold lagers, cozy stouts, and local Favorites from Central Ohio and beyond. Your tasting passport is your guide to a wild winter wonderland of Flavors—plus, additional drinks and food will be available for purchase to keep spirits bright and bellies full.
Enjoy live music and festive entertainment throughout the evening and raise a glass to the year behind (and the wild year ahead) in one of the most unique beer festival settings in the region.
Musical Guests: Zack Attack on Friday and McGuffey Lane on Saturday Night
Cheers to conservation, craft beer, and a whole lot of holiday sparkle!
