How What’s Happening Nearby works

Search the city and dates you care about

Choose a city or use device location, set a date range, and adjust your search area. You can search for a local event this weekend or look ahead to another day.

Explore different types of outings

Event categories include concerts, food events, family activities, arts and culture, outdoor events, runs, nightlife, professional sports and farmers markets. Budget and category filters help you narrow the results.

Turn discovery into plans

Open the source information for event details. Choose an associated venue to keep, prepare a Meet Up invitation, add a plan to Agenda, or use the available calendar date-reminder action.
