Cold Nights Warm Hearts At Oregon Zoo BrewLights

Published November 21, 2022 | By Rich Ellis

PRO DJs had the opportunity to return for Oregon Zoo BrewLights on Friday, November 18th and Saturday, November 19th, 2022. With the pandemic, the last BrewLights was in 2019, so it was good to be back again.

DJ Steve Marker was setup near Elephant Plaza at the far end of the zoo and had ’em dancing until 9pm, while DJ Rich Ellis worked the entry way and exit that saw a number of people dancing in the entry plaza the final hour.

It was really cold both nights, but no rain all weekend and a great crowd.
