The Wild Vibes Festival Returns to the Salisbury Zoo

PRESS RELEASE (60)

Salisbury, MD — The Salisbury Zoo is bringing the good vibes back. The Wild Vibes Festival, presented by the Salisbury Zoo Foundation, returns Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, from 1 to 5 p.m. for an afternoon of music, food and fun to support the zoo’s new coati habitat.

This 21-and-older fundraising event is one of the zoo’s most anticipated celebrations, combining the energy of live music with the laid-back charm of the Salisbury community.

This year’s festival will expand to include two live music stages — at the new Pavilion and the Holly Circle Stage — featuring local and regional performers throughout the afternoon.

Music lineup:

  • Cody Tyler and Gypsy Convoy – Holly Circle Stage
  • Bryan & The Barn Owls – Pavilion
  • The Leroy Burks Band – Holly Circle Stage
  • Carley Twigg – Pavilion

Guests can enjoy craft beer and wine sampling, food from local trucks, and unique vendors while exploring the zoo’s natural setting and seeing some of their favorite animals. Animal-themed games and activities will also be featured to keep the spirit of the zoo at the heart of the event.

“I am very excited about the Wild Vibes Festival,” said Mayor Randy Taylor. “The zoo has undergone a tremendous number of improvements — and in my opinion, it has never looked better. Wild Vibes is a great event and a perfect time to enjoy one of Salisbury’s greatest assets. Come on out and join us.”
