Wildest Show 2023

Summer is getting wilder with the Honolulu Zoo Societyʻs annual Wildest Show summer concert series. The after-hours concert series features live local entertainment from Na Hoku award-winning musical artists and popular Hawaiʻi performers live at the Honolulu Zoo’s Great Lawn. Sit back with your family and friends to enjoy music, keiki activities, and so much more while helping us raise funds to upgrade the Zoo’s family playground.
