Exactly what is the Schaeffer Eye Center City Fest?
The Schaeffer Eye Center CityFest is a free music festival held at the beautiful Railroad Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The event was started in 2014 by Jack Schaeffer's of Schaeffer Foundation. This was my first time attending the event and the crowd featured water activities for kids upon which my daughter truly enjoyed, food vendors, various beverages and snow cones to keep you cool during the hot southern heat. Musical artist's feautured on the brightly colored stage that night were; Taylor Hicks whom was the winner from the fifth season of American Idol, The ROOTS were there keeping the crowd in an uproar of excitement as they showcased their eppic sounds marinating across the park with every head in there bobbing to the fly beats, DJ Coco was amazing and one of my favorite performances were from the artist, Common!
Common of course had the crowd overtook to his amazingly poetic verses as he freestyled lyrics to a young female fan named Devin and then went on to motivate the city with the historical legendary song, "Glory", which was featured in the movie, "Selma".
The event was amazing and if you missed it, be sure to make plans to attend the event next year!
