What's Happening

What's Happening is a things-to-do website for more than 50 US cities, from Spokane and Boise to Chicago and New York. It collects events from each city's public calendars, such as libraries, tourism bureaus, and venues, and re-checks them twice a day. Every city also gets a free email every Thursday with the best things to do that week.

Finding something to do

  • Every verified event for the next 30 days, grouped by day
  • Filters for today, tomorrow, this weekend, the next 7 days, free, kids & family, evenings, and categories like music, theater, comedy, and museums, plus search
  • A list view and a month calendar that shows how many events are on each day
  • Ready-made pages for this weekend, free events, kids, and date night
  • A filtered view keeps its filters in the link, so it can be shared
  • A calendar feed for each city that adds its events to Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars
  • A language menu that translates the site

Weekly newsletter

  • One free email per city every Thursday morning with that week's best picks
  • Readers can join several cities, confirm with one click, and unsubscribe with one click
  • Sign in with Google, Apple, or a 6-digit code by email to choose your cities

Request your city

If your city isn't listed, type its name and state. The site checks it against every incorporated place in the US, then starts collecting that city's events automatically and can email you when it's live.

Accuracy

  • Dates, times, places, prices, and links always come from the original calendar
  • Each event gets a confidence score, and events confirmed by two or more sources score higher
  • Events that a calendar stops listing, that are cancelled, or whose link stops working are taken down

For local businesses

Each city sells three sponsored spots a week: two in the newsletter and a banner on the website. Sponsors pick a week, write their own ad, and pay by card, then follow views and clicks on their own dashboard. Sponsored spots are always labeled and never change which events are listed or their order.

Take it with you
