Salisbury officials have announced that the pedestrian bridge connecting to the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater has reopened, restoring an important walkway link for community members and tourists visiting the area.
The bridge’s return comes at an ideal time as spring weather approaches and the city prepares for its busy season of outdoor events and activities. The walkway now provides uninterrupted access between The Ross, the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater, and the recently renovated DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel along with Savour restaurant located at 300 S. Salisbury Blvd.
Several beloved community events are scheduled to return this spring, including the annual Hops on the River celebration on April 25 and the launch of this year’s 3rd Friday festivities, which will begin with a special tribute to Salisbury University’s centennial anniversary. The United Way will once again organize the Over the Edge for ALICE event at The Ross on May 8.
City officials plan to present an impressive roster of musical acts at the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater during the summer months as part of the Friday Night Live concert series. Now that the pedestrian bridge has reopened, getting to parking areas for amphitheater shows and private events will be much easier.
“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.”
Community groups can still reserve the amphitheater for their own gatherings. Additional details can be found at Salisbury.md/citizen-services.
Two public events are already scheduled at the Pohanka Riverwalk Amphitheater:
Flying Ivories: Dueling Pianos featuring VIP options available on May 9 from 6 to 9 p.m.
The Great Train Robbery a complimentary event set for May 22 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the entire Riverwalk area during their visit. With spring approaching, the season for outdoor events is officially beginning, and more announcements are expected soon.
