Music Under the Stars

Music Under the Stars brings live performances back to the Toledo Zoo this summer, offering families a chance to enjoy free concerts in a classic outdoor setting. Each Sunday evening features a different regional band—from patriotic and jazz selections to rock and symphonic performances—creating a varied musical experience throughout the season. Gates open at 6 p.m., with performances starting at 7:30 p.m., and the Amphitheatre itself opens at 6:30 p.m. Both the Anthony Wayne Trail and Broadway entrances will be accessible. This is a wonderful way to spend a summer evening without breaking the budget, since admission is completely free. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase if you'd like to grab something while you listen. Zoo members enjoy complimentary parking, while non-members pay standard rates. The July 26 date includes bonus entertainment in the Main Plaza from 6 to 7:30 p.m., featuring acoustic music and lights as part of a Christmas in July celebration, giving you even more to explore before the main concert begins.
