KEWAUNEE – Community members and animal lovers are invited to join in the fun at the upcoming Zoobilee, a fundraiser supporting the beloved Bruemmer Park Zoo. Set for Saturday, Sept. 26 at E4280 County Rd. F, Kewaunee, this festive gathering offers a full day of family-friendly entertainment while backing a great cause.

Event highlights and attractions

Admission to Zoobilee is completely free, ensuring everyone in the community can participate. Attendees can look forward to a vibrant lineup of activities and offerings throughout the day, including:

• Free admission for all visitors

• Live DJ providing music and entertainment

• Food and drinks available on site, along with sweet treats like ice cream

• An impressive car show and local vendors

• Cash and basket raffles

The day will kick off with the much-loved car show starting at 8 a.m., and running until awards are presented at 2 p.m. Other vendors will open shop at 9 a.m., at the same time kids’ activities will begin. A raffle drawing will take place at 2:30 p.m. and the event will conclude at 3 p.m.

Closing in on the fundraising goal

The fundraiser comes at a pivotal moment for Bruemmer Park Zoo. At the time of publication, the zoo needs to raise just $30,000 more to make its brand-new Environmental Education Center a reality.

Once completed, the new facility will serve as a cornerstone for community learning and animal welfare, featuring an indoor classroom, new animal exhibits and dedicated spaces for education and care. Community support at Zoobilee plays a direct role in helping the zoo bridge this final gap.
