Common questions

What is there to do in Canada this weekend?

This weekend runs Sep 12 - Sep 13. 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.

Is this site free to use, and do you sell tickets?

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.

Where do the events come from?

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.

How do I get an event listed?

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.
