Six of our programmes will be broadcast live from the show and our stage will be brimming over with entertainment on all three days.

We've asked a host of local musicians and entertainers to come along and perform both on and off air, and several of our presenters will be there to meet the listeners too.

And if you're not coming along, make sure you tune in to join in the fun.

Here's the line up in the 麻豆社 marquee over the three days:
