Get ready to tear up the dance floor at the inaugural Boogie for BayFM fundraiser! On January 20, for an unmissable night of top-shelf dance music, Byron Shire’s own and only community radio station will transform the Byron Theatre into the hottest club in town.

These seven awesome DJs are set to make you get down and Boogie for BayFM this summer, all for the love of the frequency – 99.9 – point one degree below boiling.

BayFM is the most easterly station in the nation and has been broadcasting the best beats across the Northern Rivers airwaves for over 30 years.

It’s 100 per cent independent, volunteer-run and not-for-profit with studios right upstairs from the Byron Theatre.

There will be a Food Truck on site on the night and Monster Raffle draw with prizes including two nights at Crystal Brook with brekky & dinner included (valued at $1000), a Munroe surfboard (valued at $1,100), and a family studio portrait session with Hugh Stewart (valued at $350).

Boogie for a great cause

BayFM postponed its 2022 fundraiser to focus on the flood recovery effort. Now it’s Byron’s local radio station’s turn to raise the roof and raise some funds. All proceeds from this event will help update studio equipment and fund essential operations into the future.
