Events

It seems as though you can find WKAR everywhere these days! On June 2, WKAR will be at Potter Park Zoo during Be a Tourist In Your Own Town.

WKAR will be participating in International Migratory Bird Day at the Zoo from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Participants will enjoy plenty of bird fun, including experiences with live birds of prey, baby bird hatching, bird feeder cleaning and lots of activities for kids.

We’ll also have Dinosaur Train Nature Tracker guides for families to take home that include lots of ideas for fun outdoor activities.

Bring your “Be a Tourist” passport for free admission. WKAR’s activities at Migratory Bird Day are underwritten in part by MSU Federal Credit Union.

The WKAR Street Team met many, many fans of WKAR at the 49th Annual East Lansing Art Festival. Did we see you there? Check out the photos on facebook, and be sure to tag yourself and your friends! You can also view the  slideshow right here.

June 26 and 27 at East Lansing Hannah Community Center, in the Albert White Performing Arts Theater.  Two free shows per night, featuring Home Again, Domestic Problems, Howling Diablos and Silent Lapse. These concerts are being recorded for BackStage Pass, the television series featuring music made in Michigan.

Join WKAR as it reveals the line-up for the next Backstage Pass recording sessions, coming to East Lansing in June. The WKAR television series featuring music made in Michigan kicks off an all-new season of production at a brand new venue, with bands that have never been featured before by WKAR.

May 19-20. On the City Hall Main Stage, in the children's area, and all around, you'll find WKAR at the East Lansing Art Festival.

The third broadcast season of BackStage Pass just wrapped up, with TV featuring music made in Michigan from the Chenille Sisters, Larry McCray, Bowery, and many more great, original acts.  Those 10 shows will repeat on WKAR-TV beginning this week and continuing into the summer.

Fans are wondering: will there be a fourth season? and, how can I be in the TV audience for the next shows?  We are thrilled to announce that there WILL be a fourth season of BackStage Pass.

But we're not ready to say more just yet. We will say this: if you're a fan of BackStage Pass from WKAR and music made in Michigan -- don't make any plans  for  the evenings of June 26 and June 27.

More to come...

Around one hundred fans of science programming on WKAR joined us Tuesday night (April 3) for our Preview Event featuring NOVA: Hunting the Elements.

The evening kicked off with a sneak peek at the special 2-hour program airing Wednesday, April 4, at 9pm on WKAR TV-HD/23. Guests also had an opportunity to hear direct from some of the researchers who explore questions about how our world works.
