Partnering with WQPT
Something for Everyone

We offer a variety of fun and entertaining events

WQPT is more than a destination on your television. When it comes to events, WQPT has something for everyone. Enjoy Brew Ha Ha and Champagne on the Rock—these events not only assist WQPT with our financial mission, but builds community spirit and brand awareness. Each summer WQPT brings a favorite PBS character to the region to visit libraries, the ballpark, and other family friendly locations. We also do a variety of children events and we partner with regional organizations including Butterworth Center, the Figge Art Museum, Putnam/IMAX, and others, providing unique and engaging opportunities.

WQPT works in our community offering educational workshops in area classrooms. We continue to give away thousands of books to low-literate and low-income children. Every year WQPT and our partners provide training for teachers at our Ready to Learn Conference, because your local public television station is there working for you.
