After much deliberation over the past few weeks, the Friends of the Zoo Board of Directors has decided to cancel Jazzoo 2020. The event, which typically sees around 5,000 attendees and raises more than $700,000 annually, was scheduled for June 5 and then rescheduled to August 28. However, as Kansas City continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, the board ultimately decided that the best decision would be to forego the event for this year to protect the health and safety of our guests, employees and community. We would like to thank our volunteers, restaurants, and generous sponsors for all of their hard work and support of Jazzoo. Now we are focusing on making next year's Jazzoo the best one yet!
