T

his year marks the 50th Anniversary of WSRE, a public 
broadcasting station entertaining the Gulf Coast. WSRE 
celebrated this milestone with a Dancing Through the Decades 
Kickoff Party on February 4 at Phineas Phogg’s in Seville 

Quarter. This was a very fitting place to host their kickoff party because 
in the 80s they used to broadcast their show Dance 23 from Seville who 
is also celebrating 50 years. Music for the event was provided by one of 
their sponsors Boogie Inc. The Krewe of Mystic Mafia also gave a special 
performance for the kickoff event. All proceeds from the night benefit the 
mission of WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast.

 For more information and for other upcoming events for WSRE’s 50th year 

Celebration please visit: wsre.org/50.
