OCTOBER 29, 2025
Live. Local. Essential.
The sixth annual Public Radio Music Day will be commemorated on October 29, 2025. In the wake of massive funding cuts to public media, this year's celebration is more important than ever.
This year’s theme – Live. Local. Essential. – highlights the vital role public radio music stations play in communities across America. Local stations connect their communities, bolster musicians and music economies, especially in support of live performances, and play an essential role in preserving regional history and culture.
