Les Fest

Sometimes musicians are jokingly referred to as "animals," and it seems someone took that literally when planning Les Fest at the Alexandra Zoo. The outdoor festival and fundraiser is thrown in the honor of late zoo director and music lover Les Whit, and promises all the fun of other music festivals, plus actual animals. Come get wild and enjoy the music of Tad Benoit, along with a menu of savory and sweet delicacies provided by Central LA's best restaurants. Tickets are $15 if ordered before Sept. 21, or $30 if purchased thereafter. Gates open at 6:30 pm. thealexandrazoo.com/lesfest.
