What Events and Venues Does WFMU Offer?

WFMU's public-facing events and spaces center on three things named on its own site: Monty Hall, its venue in Jersey City; the annual WFMU Record Fair; and LCD, its zine/program guide. The station also runs recurring on-air and online programming (including "Upcoming Special Programs") that functions as event-style listening, plus an annual fund drive. If you're looking for a physical place to go, Monty Hall is the venue; if you're looking for a date-driven event, the Record Fair is the flagship one.

Monty Hall: WFMU's Own Venue

Monty Hall is listed on wfmu.org under "Our Venue, Monty Hall" and appears again in the site's "Diversions" section. It's the station's own performance space, associated with WFMU's Jersey City home base (the station broadcasts at 91.1 FM in New York and 90.1 FM in the Hudson Valley).

What the site confirms:

• Monty Hall is WFMU's venue, listed as a distinct destination in the site navigation.
• It sits alongside WFMU's other "Diversions" — the non-broadcast, real-world side of the station.

What to check before you go: the site's own listing doesn't publish a current calendar of Monty Hall shows in the material available here. To find out what's actually happening, use the site's Upcoming Special Programs page and Upcoming Guests & Specials listing, and check the station's social accounts (BlueSky, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr), which are linked from the homepage.

The Annual WFMU Record Fair

The Record Fair is WFMU's long-running in-person event, listed on the site as "Our Annual Record Fair." It's the station's best-known recurring public gathering — a record-collector event tied to WFMU's identity as a freeform station.

Practical notes drawn from the site:

• It's described as annual, so it recurs on a yearly cycle rather than running continuously.
• The site links to it as a standalone destination, separate from programming.
• Dates, location, and admission details aren't specified in the material here — check the Record Fair page directly for the current year's information.

The Hellraiser: WFMU's Annual Fund Drive

Every October, WFMU runs its Year End fund drive, known as The Hellraiser. Per the site, it's an off-air fundraiser conducted mostly by Internet and mail — the station notes it doesn't make a big deal about it on air. If you want to support WFMU, this is the recurring campaign to watch for, and the site also lists ongoing options: "Donate Now!", donating cars, old LPs, and other stuff, and buying swag from the WFMU store.

LCD: WFMU's Zine and Program Guide

LCD is WFMU's zine/program guide, listed on the site as "LCD - Our Zine/Program Guide." It's a print-style publication tied to the station's programming, useful if you want schedule and station information in a readable guide format rather than clicking through the site.

Other Resources Worth Knowing

How to Actually Find Out What's On

Because the site's event information is spread across several pages, the reliable path is:

1. Go to Upcoming Special Programs and Upcoming Guests & Specials for dated programming events.
2. Check the Record Fair page for the current year's fair details.
3. Check Monty Hall for venue information and any listed shows.
4. Follow WFMU on its linked social platforms for announcements that may not be posted to the site first.

If a specific date, ticket price, or address isn't shown on the page you're reading, it isn't confirmed by the site material — treat it as something to verify directly rather than assume.
