starring Greta Morgan, whose music has been acclaimed as "amazing pop
pieces with intelligence," headlines ROARING NIGHTS 2015, the Los Angeles
Zoo's annual summer music series for ages 18 and up, on Friday, July 24, 2015,

Hawkes spinning tunes, L.A.'s favorite food
trucks, full-service bars, and a Game Zone with tabletop games and life-size
versions of Jenga and Kerplunk. The fun
also includes pop-up zookeeper talks, animal encounters, visits to the Zoo's new
jaguar home (along with other animal habitats), and an “Animal Artistry Paint
Party” where guests can express their creativity by painting a favorite animal
(or whatever inspiration strikes them) on a small canvas to take home as a
souvenir. Among the high-profile
food trucks are Coolhaus, Komodo, Lobsta Truck, Mandoline Grill, Ragin Cajun, The
Grilled Cheese Truck, Urban Oven, Baby’s Badass Burgers, Bakery Truck, Border
Grill, Dogtown Dogs, India Jones, Rice Balls of Fire, Son of a Bun, The Hungry
Nomad, The Bakery Truck and The Pudding Truck.
The summer's third
Roaring Nights evening takes place on Friday, August 21 with headline band The
