Hattiesburg Zoo: Rum Under The Sun

Guests to The Hattiesburg Zoo on the evening of September 29^th will be watching the setting sun while sipping on some rum at the second annual Rum Under the Sun event.  Rum Under the Sun will be held from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., and is an adult-only (21+) event. Tickets can be pre-purchased for $15 online at this link https://tickets.hattiesburgzoo.com/event/rum-under-the-sun or at the gate for $20 (if available). 
Caribbean music including Reggae, Calypso, Salsa and Mambo will welcome guests, and entertain them through the night.  Guests will be proclaiming, "Yes, man! We in di lime tonight." 
 
And what would Rum Under the Sun be without Caribbean Island rums? High-end rum flights will be served in a private Cigar and Rum Bar, THE PALM, located behind Safari Grill where rum and cigar aficionados will sip on specialty Rums and puff on high-end Cigars made available through The Leaf Cigar Company.  The night will also highlight flavorful Caribbean foods. 
Guests will be Pompasetting (SHOWING OFF) as they compete in the limbo contest to see “how low they can go,” and the Splash Pad will be flowing to keep guests cool.  The Tortuguero Train will also be rolling past the wildlife throughout the evening for guests to enjoy.
 
 “We are so excited to bring back this fun Caribbean themed event to our guests for a second year,” said Demetric Kelly, Director of Guest Services and Retail.  “Our guests truly enjoyed this themed event last year and we look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces at the second annual Rum Under the Sun.”
 
Rum Under the Sun is a cashless event.
