About

Public Radio Music Day is a nationwide celebration uniting public radio music stations, fans, artists, and other members of the music industry to recognize and spread the word about the special role noncommercial stations play in the music world both locally and nationally.

The fourth annual Public Radio Music Day will be commemorated on October 25, 2023. This year, we're asking public radio music stations to showcase how they support school music programs in their local community. This year's theme - Building Community Through Music - not only builds on the momentum of spreading awareness of your impact on American audiences, but provides stations with the opportunity to engage with a new generation of music lovers.
