About The WBUR Festival
WBUR is where you belong — a place for curious people to learn about what’s unfolding in an increasingly complex world. The WBUR Festival is two days of captivating conversations, podcast tapings and performances across multiple stages up and down Commonwealth Ave. Plus, food, art and music. It’s serious stuff, and wicked fun too.
All proceeds from The WBUR Festival help support WBUR’s mission to produce high-quality journalism and enriching experiences.
