Sunset Stampede

Members – Exclusive Event
Saturday January 24, 2026 3:30pm – 6:30pm
Location: Palm Garden

Saddle up for a rootin’ tootin’ good time at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens as the sun dips low behind the desert peaks. We’re throwing a Members-Only Western Bash that will be the highlight of Members Month.

Round up your troop for a wild western evening featuring:
Chuckwagon Feast – sink your teeth into grilled favorites and down-home sides.
Boot Stompin’ Music & Dancing – Kick up your heels to the tunes of a live band featuring the Desert Suite Band.
Frontier Fun & Games – From Axe Throwing to Ring Toss and a Horse Stick Races, there is something for all ages!
Wild West Animal Encounter – Meet one of our wranglin’ Animal Keepers and their surprise critter companion.
This hoedown is your chance to celebrate the season with fellow members in a family-friendly, nature-filled setting that is sure to make memories.

RSVP now to stake your claim. Only the first 150 members will get in on this shindig!
We are looking forward to riding into the sunset with y’all at the Zoo!

And do not forget to be a Desert Defender by shopping at and supporting farms at local farmers’ markets.
