Salisbury, MD — The City of Salisbury is pleased to announce the reopening of the pedestrian bridge at the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater, restoring a key connection along the Riverwalk for residents and visitors.

The reopening arrives just in time for the season’s longer days and warmer weather, as the community gears up for a full return to Salisbury’s spring and summer event schedule. The Riverwalk now offers a seamless connection from The Ross to the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater and the newly rebranded and revitalized DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and the Savour restaurant at 300 S. Salisbury Blvd.

This spring also marks the return of signature downtown traditions, including Hops on the River on April 25 and the kickoff of this year’s 3rd Friday celebrations — starting with a special commemoration of 100 years of Salisbury University. For the second consecutive year, the United Way will host Over the Edge for ALICE® at The Ross on May 8.

The City will bring an exciting lineup of musicians to the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater this summer for the Friday Night Live concert series. With the pedestrian bridge now open, accessibility to convenient parking for amphitheater events and rentals has significantly improved.

“We’re excited to welcome the community back to this beautiful space,” Mayor Randy Taylor said. “The amphitheater is an affordable, rentable venue that brings people together. We hope residents and organizations will take advantage of this unique setting for their events.”

The amphitheater remains available for community rentals. More information is available at Salisbury.md/citizen-services.

Upcoming public events at the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater include:

  • Flying Ivories: Dueling Pianoswith VIP accessibility available on May 9 from 6 – 9 p.m.
  • The Great Train Robberya FREE event planned for May 22 from 6 – 9 p.m.

Come take a walk down the Riverwalk while you’re there and check it out! Spring is nearly here, and event season is officially underway. More details will be announced soon.
