2026 Block Party
Join us for the Refinery x OHM Block Party, a free community celebration marking the 11th anniversary of Ohm Radio 96.3 FM, Charleston's only nonprofit community radio station.
Spend the afternoon at our OHM Sweet OHM—The Refinery—as we throw open the doors for an afternoon of live local music, food and drinks, artists and makers, community organizations, interactive activities, and a few surprises up our sleeves.
Whether you're discovering your next favorite band, shopping with local vendors, connecting with neighbors, or catching a live broadcast from Ohm Radio, the Block Party is a celebration of the creativity, collaboration, and community spirit that make Charleston shine.
This annual gathering embodies everything Ohm Radio stands for: bringing people together, amplifying local voices, and creating meaningful connections through music, storytelling, and shared experiences. Every sponsorship, vendor participation, and donation helps keep Charleston's only nonprofit community radio station thriving and ensures this event remains free and accessible to all.

About
OHM RADIO is Charleston’s first community, commercial-free radio station! We have been on the air 24/7 Since August 1, 2015. Ohm Radio will broadcast music by local, independent, and legendary artists. We’ll spread the good word about what local entrepreneurs, non-profits, and social groups are doing to enhance our community. We will unite Charleston’s diverse community of voices with original and creative programming.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
In physics, an OHM is a unit of resistance, and this OHM Radio campaign is about resisting corporate “piped-in” radio and promoting local, noncommercial radio that is genuine, relevant, and reflects who we are as a community.
