Five Decades on the Dial KRBD’s 50 Year Celebration LIVE DAY

FIVE DECADES ON THE DIAL — Live Day May 23, 2026 | 10am–5pm | Ted Ferry Civic Center, 888 Venetia Way

Fifty years. Countless voices. One community.

On May 23rd, KRBD celebrates half a century of community radio in Southern Southeast Alaska — and we’re doing it live, together, right here in Ketchikan. Join us for a full day of live broadcasts featuring the incredible range of local talent that has always made this station something special: musicians, spoken word artists, poets, cultural performers, storytellers, and more.

If it can come through a microphone and move people, it belongs on our stage. Local performers of all kinds will take the spotlight all day long, reflecting the rich, diverse community that KRBD has been proud to serve since 1976.

Want to be part of this historic day? We’d love to have you — reach out to the station now to sign up to perform – spots go fast!

Whether you’ve been tuning in for decades or you’re just discovering what community radio is all about, this is your chance to be part of something truly special. Come celebrate, share your voice, and help us mark this incredible milestone.

Free and open to the community — because that’s exactly who KRBD is for.

RSVP below and make a full day of it — then keep the celebration going into the evening with tickets to the Dance Through the Decades Costume Party at 7pm!
