This September, celebrate KALW's 85th birthday with art, music, community, and a bold new vision for the Bay Area.

As we celebrate 85 years of serving the Bay Area, we're inviting our community to set the stage for The Next 85 Years with two historic events:

SEPT 27: Warfield Commons Grand Opening & Housewarming

SEPT 29: KALW’s 85th Birthday Benefit Concert @ The Warfield Theatre

Join KALW Public Media, CAST, and Warfield Commons tenants as we open our doors at Warfield Commons on Sept 27th and mark the Next 85 Years of KALW Public Media on Sept 29th.

The Next 85 Years

KALW has been a Bay Area original for 85 years as a reflection and testament to the Bay's cultural vibrancy and iconic movements. For 85 years, KALW has sounded like the Bay: our voices, music, news, neighborhoods, and celebrations. As we move into the People's Studio and celebrate this historic moment in September, we mark the beginning of The Next 85 Years.

Join us for a full year of major events, historic stories from the people and voices behind KALW, and exclusive benefits to our supporters.
