Welcome to Wolf Trap, your home for extraordinary performances under the stars!
Wolf Trap combines music and nature to bring you an unforgettable summer experience in a majestic natural setting. Since the first performance in 1971, world-renowned artists and performers from every genre have graced Wolf Trap’s stages.
Celebrating 54 years in 2025, the Filene Center is operated in partnership with the National Park Service and is home to Wolf Trap Foundation’s nationally renowned summer performance seasons.
The Park also features the charmingly rustic Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods and the intimate Meadow Stage. The 117-acre Park offers dining and hospitality amenities throughout the summer and year-round recreational opportunities, including hiking trails, picnic areas, and sledding.
Welcome to Summer 2025!
As we return to the Filene Center for another remarkable season under the stars, I’m reminded of the performing arts’ unique ability to inspire, uplift, and spark joy. There’s something magical about sharing a live concert experience together—the connection between audience and artist creates moments that live long after the final note.
Whether you enjoy soaring ballads, soulful grooves, or breathtaking symphonies, this season has something for everyone. From icons like Paul Simon and Cynthia Erivo to genre-defying artists like Jacob Collier, Maren Morris, The Avett Brothers, and The Roots, this summer’s lineup brings a wide range of artistry to the stage. This year we’re thrilled to introduce Todo Sonido, a vibrant two-day festival celebrating the sounds of Latin America with superstars Juanes and Carlos Vives, joined by 14 talented musical acts who will perform across our three outdoor stages.
The National Symphony Orchestra returns to its summer home with cinematic favorites, Broadway brilliance, and stirring classical works, including a performance of Orff’s masterwork Carmina Burana featuring Wolf Trap Opera soloists. Later in the season, Wolf Trap Opera brings Bizet’s blockbuster Carmen to life at the Filene Center for what will be an epic and unforgettable evening.
New this summer, I’m delighted to showcase our redesigned entrance gates, refreshed Plaza, and other improvements in and around the Filene Center to elevate your concert evening. I also invite you to indulge in a delicious dining experience at Ovations Restaurant, re-opened and now helmed by the Foundation’s own Hospitality Team. I hope these enhanced amenities will further enrich the Wolf Trap experience for future generations of arts lovers.
Whether it’s your first or 50th visit to Wolf Trap, I invite you to sit back, relax, and revel in an exciting summer of music, connection, and memories.
Enjoy the show!
