• Submit or claim event, venue, artist, or organization listings
• Write ratings or reviews
• Save events or create custom calendars

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies for authentication sessions and local storage to remember your preferences (such as your preferred calendar view and filter sidebar state). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

Your Location

If you choose to share your location, it is stored in your session to show nearby events. We do not persistently store precise location data. You can clear your location at any time from the location selector in the navigation bar.
