Division of Recreation - Kasschau Memorial Shell
The Kasschau Memorial Shell is an outdoor amphitheater located on Veteran's Field in the center of Ridgewood, and dedicated in 1958 as a tribute to Frank Kasschau, an accomplished and beloved musician in Ridgewood. Its purpose is to provide a variety of free quality family entertainment twice weekly from early June through mid-August.

The Kasschau Memorial Shell operates under the auspices of the Village of Ridgewood in cooperation with the Department of Parks and Recreation. In addition, many local organizations and business provide much needed funds to support these programs.

Thousands of Villagers and friends toting blankets, chairs, children, and bug spray, flock to Veteran's Field, positioning themselves in front of Kasschau Shell, to enjoy the entertainment beneath the stars every Tuesday and Thursday evening.
