Who doesn’t love a birthday bash? We think five years of community radio is worth celebrating and we hope you can join us!

If you’re interested in learning more about how a show goes live to air, attend our pre-show live broadcast at 4pm. Join the Midtown crew, including local artists and musicians for a BBQ at 5pm. And, of course, there will be live music! Starting at 7pm we will host an outdoor concert featuring the MacQueens.

Poster for Izad Etemadi: Let me explain. Written and performed by Izad Etemadi. Directed by Matt White. May 25-June 4th.

Grab your tickets now for Green Light Art’s latest show, Izad Etemadi: Let Me Explain. About the show: Through songs, stories, a few re-enactments, and playful audience interaction, Izad takes us on a journey through his world: born in a refugee camp in Germany, moving to Victoria, having his first boy crush, venturing off to Musical Theatre School looking for a gay fantasia, eventually coming out to his parents, and making it in show biz. 

Head over to TWB on May 27th (8pm) for the Hot Summer Nights Drag Show ($18).

AfroVibes on Gaukel poster. Music, food, games, workshops, drinks, art, fashion. June 3rd, 3pm.

On June 3rd, check out the Afrovibes On Gaukel Festival, a celebration of African culture taking place on Gaukel St in downtown Kitchener. On Thursdays at 8pm, you can also catch AfroNights hosted by Peter Pearse-Elosia (of the digimillenials) on Midtown Radio.

And visit On The Scene KW for many other events or catch it on Midtown Radio on alternating Thursday evenings at 7:00pm. The new season begins June 1st, or listen to it on demand on Transistor.
