Reason #17: Live Events

Ain’t no party like a WNIJ party!

For decades, WNIJ’s live events have connected fans with each other and their favorite on-air personalities. Popular live events over the years have included the Left Bank stage for Rockford’s On The Waterfront festival. You may have spotted the WNIJ booth at community expos and farmer’s markets in your hometown. Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary were even on the guest list for the launch of our podcast, “Drinkin’ with Lincoln” at the Prairie Street Brewing Company. We’ve also added virtual live events to our line-up in recent years, including our next Facebook Live panel featuring youth poets in Illinois.
