VALDOSTA – Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta has announced its 2025 concert and special events schedule, featuring an exciting mix of new and returning artists, seasonal festivals, and exclusive events for season passholders.

The Wild Adventures LIVE! concert series kicks off April 5 with the return of country rap star Colt Ford, known for the hits “Dirt Road Anthem” and “Country Must Be Country Wide.” Ford will perform on the Wild Adventures LIVE! Amphitheater stage, and this special opening show is the park’s Passholder Appreciation Concert.

“The first concert of the series is free for our Gold and Diamond Season Passholders who will receive reserved seats for the show on a first come, first serve basis,” said Jon Vigue, vice president and general manager. “It’s just one of the many perks of being a season passholder.”

The concert series continues throughout April, featuring legendary artist Willie Nelson, who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year. Southern rock icons The Marshall Tucker Band and 38 Special, known for hits like “Can’t You See” and “Caught Up In You,” will also take the stage.

In May, country star Walker Hayes, celebrated for his chart-topping hit “Fancy Like,” will perform, followed by Grammy-winning gospel artist CeCe Winans and contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Chris Tomlin.

Summer concerts include a June performance by Big & Rich, joined by special guest Gretchen Wilson, and shows by Grammy-nominated Christian artist Zach Williams and award-winning country singer Ashley McBryde. In July, guests can enjoy performances by hip-hop legends Rob Base and Doug E. Fresh, and the concert series wraps up with a performance by Christian rock band Skillet, marking their 15th appearance at Wild Adventures.

“Our lineup includes 15 award-winning artists and bands,” said Vigue. “We’re thrilled to bring these incredible shows and a season packed with special events to our guests.”

General concert admission is included with a Wild Adventures Season Pass. Reserved seats for the 2025 Wild Adventures LIVE! concert series go on sale to Diamond and Gold Passholders at 9 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 24. Reserved seats will be available to Silver Passholders and the general public starting Monday, March 3.

The special events of the 2025 Season begin April 12 with the Easter Eggstravaganza, featuring 100,000 candy-filled eggs, special hunts for kids, and chances to win free 2025 Gold Season Passes.

Wild Adventures August food festival returns with a new twist. Wild Food Weekends: Tater Takeover will offer unique potato-inspired treats throughout the park. Fall brings the return of Great Pumpkin LumiNights and The Pumpkin Spice Festival, featuring new entertainment, light displays and seasonal treats. The holidays shine brighter than ever with Wild Adventures Christmas Wild & Bright, which will include even more lights, shows and family-friendly activities.

The park’s 2025 season begins March 15 with the return of Dinosaur Explore, a limited-time attraction featuring more than 50 life-size, animatronic dinosaurs. Guests can dig for fossils at the Dino Dig site, interact with “Dino Keepers,” and meet a roaming velociraptor. On April 5, guests can also enjoy the opening of Splash Island Waterpark for the 2025 Season. 

The season also marks the debut of Water’s Edge, a new park expansion with three new rides, new animal habitats, new eateries, and the park’s first quiet room from families with sensory sensitivity needs.

“From extraordinary concerts to immersive attractions like Water’s Edge, 2025 will redefine what it means to experience family entertainment at Wild Adventures,” Vigue said. “We’re bringing more excitement, more value, and more unforgettable moments to every guest who visits this Season.”
