Schaefer Music Festival

Beginning in 1967 and through the early 70's, the F & M Schaefer Brewing Co. sponsored concerts in Central Park. The concerts offered something for everyone.

At $2.00 for first come/first serve orchestra seats, the shows were popular and usually sold out. Hundreds would spend the day on line at the Wollman Rink to socialize and get the best seats.

Sadly, pressure from the neighborhood eventually forced the shows to the west side Piers and much of the appeal was gone.
