The Schaefer Music Festival was a music festival which had been held in the summers between 1967 and 1976 at the Trump Wollman Skating Rink in New York City's Central Park. The series had been sponsored by F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company (brewer of Schaefer Beer). After being moved to the West Side Piers due to residential noise complaints, the festival was discontinued after 1976.

Renowned club owner and musician Hilly Kristal, who founded CBGB in 1973, co-founded the festival with producer and concert promoter Ron Delsener. The capacity of the Wollman Rink was usually limited to about 6,000 to 7,000 people, but it is reported that Bob Marley's performance in 1975 has attracted about 15,000 people. The festival was very popular, since tickets were cheap (from $1 in 1967 to $3 in 1976) and many superstars of the popular music scene have performed at the festival:
