Tickets are still available for Wednesday's second session of "Salsa at the Zoo" presented by MyHabanero.com. The all-adult evening features live Latin music, talented dance instructors, cocktails and appetizers.

Tonight's performer will be the Celia Cruz Tribute Band. Dance lessons will be provided by Saladeen from the Chicago International Salsa Congress.

To celebrate the inaugural Salsa at the Zoo in July, Band Son de la Habana and dance instructors from around Chicago were up with the animals bright and early "getting everyone’s musical juices flowing," zoo officials said.

“If tonight’s event is half the party this morning was, Salsa at the Zoo goers are in for a treat,” community relations manager Alex Gallegos said, that day. “This new event is a chance to get exclusive, after-hours access to the zoo, and it is something a little different for Lincoln Park Zoo to try out, too.”

The Aug. 29 session kicks off at 6 p.m. and lasts until 9 p.m. Tickets are $20—$17 for members—and can be purchased at the door of Café at Wild Things, a scenic hideaway overlooking the zoo’s Main Mall. Those interested can also buy them online.
