Music Under the Stars

Music Under the Stars is a beloved summer tradition at the Toledo Zoo featuring free outdoor concerts held in the zoo's historic Amphitheatre. Each Sunday evening, a different regional band takes the stage performing a variety of styles—from patriotic and rock to jazz and symphonic music. Gates open at 6 p.m., with performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. On July 19th, you'll enjoy the Maumee Community Band. There's also a special "Christmas in July" celebration with additional live music and lights in the Main Plaza from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Bring a blanket or chair and settle in for a relaxing evening under the stars. While admission and parking are free for zoo members (parking fees apply for non-members), food and beverages are available for purchase at standard concession prices. Both the Anthony Wayne Trail and Broadway entrances will be open, making it easy to find your way in. This is a wonderful way to enjoy live music alongside a summer outing at the zoo, perfect for families looking for an affordable evening activity.
