MEMPHIS, Tenn. — UPDATE 8/20/2021 - This year's Rendezoo at the Memphis Zoo is being postponed until next year due to the surge in COVID-19 in the Mid-South.
Zoo leaders announced Friday that the annual fundraiser, which had been set for September 11, 2021, is rescheduled for June 4, 2022.
The zoo said in a statement, "Due to the current climate of COVID-19, this decision was made in the best interest of both guests and staff to stay safe. This decision was not made lightly by the zoo leadership as Rendezoo is our largest fundraising event of the year."

6/25/2021 - After having to skip last year’s party due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Memphis Zoo is coming back bigger and better than ever for their 37th Zoo Rendezvous.
This year’s theme is Back to the 80s.
Nick Harmeier, the chief marketing officer for the Memphis Zoo said, “with it starting back in 1983 with Nick Vargas and Rendezvous, we thought it would be a good idea to tip our hats to that. Back to the 80s.”
