Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities for all ages. Kids can take part in pony rides sponsored by Ameriserv, enjoy a petting zoo, have their faces painted, and experience balloon bending and Tommy 202 wagon rides. For those interested in crafts, art exhibits, and living history displays, the festival has much to offer. Additionally, there will be more than a dozen food vendors and nearly 30 craft vendors on site, presenting a range of items for purchase.
City Park’s four prominent museums—the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, the Mansion House Art Center & Gallery (home to the Valley Art Association), the City Park Train Hub, and the Jonathan Hager House and Museum—will be open all day, offering free tours and special activities.

But if you're not, that's fine too—we're confident in our mission and will be here if you decide you're ready for the truth. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.

As the day winds down, attendees are encouraged to make their way to the Museum Drive lake area beginning at 4 p.m., where food and craft vendors will be set up.
