Peter Ringenberg

Join us for Meet Me on the Island Friday, June 7th from 5:30-10pm. Fireworks  cap it all off! 

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and that means your local NPR station's summer event series is just around the corner.

We've got some amazing local musical talent lined up for you this year.

From three different Meet Me on the Island events held in conjunction with the South Bend Museum of Art (June 7, July 5 & August 2) to Fernwood Friday (July 19 at Fernwood) to Music in the Gardens at The History Museum in South Bend (August 23) ... there is something for everyone this summer. These events are FREE to WVPE listener members. Non-members pay an admission fee.  Not a member? Become one now so you get tickets to all these summer events. Become a listener member here:
