WDIY hosted our annual celebration at the Ice House in Bethlehem on Saturday, March 2, 2019. Lehigh Valley band The Large Flowerheads performed live, paying tribute to the music of the 1960's.
The event also featured food caterd by Cafe the Lodge in Bethlehem; craft-brewed beer courtesy of Fegley's Brew Works, Tim and Honree Kerrigan's 14th Fret Brewing Company, and Susquehanna Brewing Company; a World Bop Wine Wall; raffles; silent auction; and volunteer recognition.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate WDIY's 24 years broadcasting in the Lehigh Valley. Thanks as well to the band, sponors, and volunteers who helped make it possible.

Check out photos from the event courtesy of WDIY's Mike Riess. Photographer Nilo Hodge also captured photos of the night that can be seen at his SmugMug page.
