On Air Fest
Brooklyn

On Air Fest is the Premier Creator Storytelling Festival
Centering media innovation, art and podcasts, we present intimate talks, performances & exhibitions that uplift the storytellers and brands who are shaping culture today. Since 2018, our flagship festivals in Brooklyn and Los Angeles have brought together thousands of artists, storytellers and industry leaders to bring forward innovative ideas and launch new projects. We’ve been called the “Coachella of Podcasts” by Fast Company and “the Future of Podcasting” by Wired.
This February will mark the next era for On Air Fest. Centering our creative community that has been so loyal and engaged with us these last 8 years, we’re expanding our programming into new categories and our footprint across Brooklyn/NYC.
