Mayfest in the Garden with the Music of Spitzbuam
May 15th, Saturday, 5:30 – 8:30
p.m.

Mayfest has its roots in old traditions, a celebration of nature's reawakening after winter's cold chill. At the Voelker Orth it is a special evening of warm hospitality where friends have gathered since the 1890s.

In olden days: Conrad Voelker hosting a gathering

Come join the fun. And wear your dancing shoes to fully enjoy the spirited music of Spitzbuam! Or, simply relax and delight in the spring garden. The evening offers dining from the backyard grill in our Victorian Garden.

What better way to say goodbye to winter's chill and hello to the comforts of spring?

General Admission $30 and Members $25, food and drink included. To purchase tickets call the Museum at 718-359-6227.
