Stella Blue’s Band is excited to announce the seventh annual Free Dead in the Park concert to benefit Riverkeeper, presented by The Capitol Theatre and Friends of Free Dead in the Park. Following in the footsteps of the Grateful Dead over 50 years ago, Stella will take to the same stage at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park in New York City at 4:30pm on Tuesday, May 12, for two sets of music to raise awareness and funds to help clean the Hudson River. 💧
No ticket needed – just show up, dance, and gather with friends and family at this all-ages show.
See you Tuesday, May 12, in the Park! And remember, thanks to our sponsors, it's *Free* Dead in the Park. 🌳
This show is presented by The Capitol Theatre and sponsored by the Morgan Le Fay Dreams Foundation, Warner Bros. Discovery, the Lanza Family Foundation, The Zankel Music Fund, Grateful Guitars, the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the Schaevitz Family Foundation, Boston Investment Professionals, and others. The show will be produced by G4D Productions.
An exclusive commemorative t-shirt featuring an illustration by Kelley Wills of Brain Flower Designs will be given to everyone who becomes a Riverkeeper member at the event. 🎨: Brain Flower Designs
