Common questions
This weekend runs Sep 18 - Sep 20. The weekend page collects every festival, concert, market and family event happening in that window across all ten provinces and three territories, and can be narrowed to a province, a city or a category.
It is free and there is nothing to sign up for. No tickets are sold here: where an event charges admission, the listing links to the organiser or the municipality that handles it.
From the official calendars that Canadian municipalities, regions and venues publish themselves. They are crawled daily, normalised to one format, de-duplicated where several sources carry the same event, and each listing keeps a link back to its origin.
Submit it. Submissions are reviewed by hand before they appear, and an event already published on a municipal calendar we crawl will usually arrive on its own within a day.
