Audubon Zoo is hosting a special fete for mothers, and Irma Thomas is headlining! Mother to four children herself, Thomas will take the stage at the Zoo at 2:30pm on Sunday for a special 90-minute set that's geared towards mothers and full of personal anecdotes. Entry is free for moms to this decades-old Audubon Zoo tradition.

The entire event lasts from 10am-6pm with live music from 11am-4pm. Mykia Jovan opens the stage at 11am, followed by Aurora Nealand & the Royal Roses at 12:30pm, followed by Thomas. The day also features crafts, food, and other family- and mama-friendly activities.

Free tickets for moms are available at the gate upon arrival. All others can purchase in advance by clicking here.
