Events Bonanza!



Two Dollar Radio Event Booth | Radio Waves

This weekend is gonna be HUGE. We'll be at TWO of our most beloved cultural events in North America—the Brooklyn Book Festival (NY) and Independents' Day (Columbus, OH). 

BKBF | Radio WavesThe Brooklyn Book Festival is a literary staple, and we are pumped to be there again. This year's festival includes panels featuring two TDR authors, Masande Ntshanga (The Reactive) and Mark de Silva (Square Wave).

Independents' Day might be the best festival of the year Independents' Day | Radio Wavesin Columbus. Taking place in the Franklinton Arts District, Independents' Day has acrobatic shows, skate ramps, mini-golf, a plethora of craft breweries and food trucks, fireworks, and five stages featuring non-stop music FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS.

Pygmalion Festival | Radio WavesNext weekend we'll be at Pygmalion Festival in Urbana-Champaign, IL. It will be our second year attending this wonderful music & lit based festival. The lineup looks rad, and the festival features a ton of stellar presses and writers—including a reading by Masande Ntshanga. Be sure to stop by the Book Fair on SAT (9/24)!

We're also super excited that Masande Ntshanga will be traveling all the way from South Africa for a North American tour and might be coming to your town!

Below are the events we have confirmed so far for Masande, with possibly a couple more being added in the near-future.
