Events

At WNRV, one of our goals is to be actively involved in the local community. We work closely with local schools, governments, organizations, and businesses. One of the ways we give back is to provide an Events Calendar that you can use to track all the WNRV and community events.

We will be broadcasting live from the Henry Reed Memorial Fiddlers Convention on June 11-12 in Glen Lyn, VA (flyer). All the bands on Friday will be broadcast live & on Saturday we'll have periodic live broadcasts during the day. We have partnered with the festival to offer special discounted advertising packages in May, contact us for details.

You can use our Local Events forum to post info about your event (registered users only). Or, you can use our contact form if you'd like to have your event listed on the Calendar (as well as if you're interested in having WNRV being involved with your event).
