Help & FAQ

How do I browse events?

Pick your area with the area selector at the top, then scroll the list. Each day’s events are grouped together, newest first. Use the filters to narrow things down by town, venue, type (live music, theater, family, and so on), date range, or a keyword search.

How do I find events near a specific place?

Set the location picker (“Anywhere”) to a town or address, or open the map view to see what’s happening around a spot and pan around the region.

A venue or event I know about isn’t listed.

We add sources over time. If we’re missing one, suggest a venue — give us the name and website and we’ll figure out how to pull its calendar. An admin reviews each suggestion before it goes live.

A date, time, or detail looks wrong.

Every listing links back to the original venue or organizer — that source is always the final word, so check there first. If something looks off on our end, let us know and we’ll fix it.

Will I know if an event is cancelled or postponed?

Usually, but always check before you go. We refresh every listing once a day, overnight. When a venue or organizer marks an event cancelled or postponed, it shows here with a Cancelled or Postponed tag after the next refresh. Same-day changes — weather, illness, a sold-out door — can happen after we last looked, so for anything outdoors or weather-dependent, check the venue’s or organizer’s own site or social media before you head out.

Do I need an account?

No. Browsing is free and open — no sign-up required.

Can I get events by email?

Yes — subscribe to the newsletter for a regular roundup for your area.

Where does the data come from?

From public venue, town, library, and community calendars across each region. We aggregate and de-duplicate them, categorize each event, and link back to the source so you can confirm details and get tickets.
