Zoofari Gala 2024

Taronga's major annual fundraiser, Zoofari Gala on Saturday 26 October 2024, is SOLD OUT!

You can still be involved by bidding big in the Zoofari Gala Online Auction - launching Friday 18 October 2024.

This year, Zoofari Gala will raise critical funds to continue its commitment to the conservation of one of the world's most unique animals, Australia's platypus. 

During this magical evening, you will go on an immersive journey through the grounds of Taronga, come eye to eye with animals over cocktails and canapés and meet our conservationists. An exceptional three-course dinner will be served in the spectacular Zoofari Gala Marquee with views directly over Sydney's Harbour and skyline.  

You will have a chance to bid on money-can't-buy experiences, including overseas travel and visits to our conservation programs, and the chance to win a stunning piece of jewellery.

Dress Code:  Sustainable Black Tie  

Theme: BACK TO NATURE 

With your support, Taronga will continue to take action to protect and save wildlife.
