Zoo Music Concert Series

Every Friday the Albuquerque Zoo turns into a concert venue for families to come enjoy music.  This event goes on all throughout the summer with the gates opening at 6pm.  Bringing food into the Zoo is allowed for this special event, and you may also buy food from the Zoo vendors.

For nearly two decades, the Zoo has entertained visitors during the summer months with the Zoo Music Concert Series. Zoo Music showcases regional, national and international talent playing a variety of music, including country Latin rock, Afro-Cuban, Celtic, bluegrass, Cajun and pop-rock.
