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%?

Festivities begin on Friday, May 23, with “Thunder in the Square,” a classic and new car showcase hosted by the Alsatia Club in downtown Hagerstown. That same evening, “Music in the Plaza” will feature The Cruisers performing 1950s and 1960s hits in University Plaza. The weekend continues with the BISFA Chili Cook-Off & Music Festival on May 24, showcasing student talent from the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts, followed by a candlelight Memorial Day concert from the Federal City Brass Band on the steps of The Maryland Theatre.
The City’s recurring events include the City Farmers Market, held every Sunday from May 25 through June 29 at Hub City Brewery.
