Not Fred Fest had a fairly quiet first night on Friday. With an increased police presence due to stabbings, shootings and a fire during the event last year in the village, there were no major scanner reports from the evening or early Saturday. New York State Police did have a sobriety checkpoint set up during the evening on Central Avenue near the university. “Not Fred Fest” is an unofficial spring party among SUNY Fredonia students and their associates that happens the first weekend of every May. It takes its name from Fred Fest, an on-campus music festival canceled in 2015 over concerns about misbehavior. Students simply moved the partying off campus.
