150 years ago, the community came together to create something special: an oasis where people could connect with each other and the world around them for generations. On August 27, 1875, a celebration was held to acknowledge the hard work put forth to create Binghamton’s first public park and the country’s 5th zoo. This year, we will come together once again on August 27th to honor the legacy of the gift left to us by Erastus and Cornelia Ross, who donated the land, and to celebrate the countless volunteers who cleared brush, carved out trails, and built bridges 150 years ago. Join us as we reflect on the rich history of Ross Park Zoo and share a vision for protecting its future.“Honoring Our Legacy. Protecting Our Future” will be held on August 27, 2025, at Celebrations on Park located at 136 Park Avenue in Binghamton. The event will begin at 5:00 pm with a cash bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. The evening program will start at 5:45 pm, and dinner will be served at 6:00 pm. When purchasing your ticket, you will be asked to select a dinner option from the following:
Beef tenderloin with herb-roasted garlic demi-glace
Grilled salmon with piccata sauce
Pasta Provençal (vegetarian and gluten-free)
Guests will have a chance to win some fantastic prizes, including custom animal art and an overnight stay in Lake Placid.
Tickets are $225/person. Discounted tickets, priced at $187.50, are available to members. Tables of 8 can be purchased for $ 1,500.
