The WBUR Festival in 90 seconds

For more than 75 years, WBUR has been the place — an information hub, conversation engine and constant companion. The place where curious people learn about what’s unfolding in an increasingly complex world.

The WBUR Festival is where it all comes together in technicolor. Two days of captivating conversations, podcast tapings and music performances across multiple stages with a lively street scene. It’s serious stuff, and wicked fun too.

2026 Highlights

Last year featured quite the guest list and thousands of WBUR enthusiasts.
