Rumble in the Jungle

Overview

Start your engines—and bring the whole family—for a wild day of wheels and wildlife at the first-ever Rumble in the Jungle, a brand-new car show fundraiser for the Baton Rouge Zoo! Hosted by the Baton Rouge Zoo Foundation, this one-of-a-kind event blends the roar of classic and custom cars with the magic of exotic animals for an unforgettable experience.

Stroll the Zoo’s scenic grounds as you take in an impressive display of classic cars, muscle machines, and custom rides. But that’s just the beginning—this high-octane day offers something for everyone:

• Hands-on kids activities and fun for all ages

• Food trucks and local beverage vendors

• Pop-up shopping with local artisans and businesses

• Animal encounters throughout the day, including special appearances by the Zoo’s beloved Ambassador Animals

Please note:

• All proceeds benefit the Baton Rouge Zoo and support its ongoing conservation, education, and animal care programs.

• Admission will be slightly higher than regular Zoo pricing, and tickets for spectators are available at the gate only on the day of the event.

• Want to show off your ride? Vehicle registration is open from August 3 - October 10 at brzoo.org/rumble.

Whether you're a car fanatic, an animal lover, or just looking for a wildly fun fall outing, Rumble in the Jungle is destined to become one of Baton Rouge’s must-attend annual events!
