About the Amherst calendar

Amherst, New York has 18 upcoming events on this calendar through June 13, and 7 of them are free. They are spread across 6 venues, led by Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village (7 events), Audubon - Honorable Shirley Chisholm Library (6 events), Alden State Bank (1 event), Daemen University (1 event), Eggertsville-Snyder Branch (1 event) and Maxine and Robert Seller Theatre at the JCC (1 event).

By type, Amherst's town calendar is mostly community events and causes (6), festivals and markets (6), classes, talks and library programmes (4) and theatre and performing arts (1).

This weekend, October 16 to October 18, there are 2 events in Amherst. This week, October 19 to October 25, there are 5, on things to do in Amherst this week.

The Amherst listings here are gathered twice a day from Buffalo & Erie County Public Library (7), Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village (7), Clarence Chamber of Commerce (1) and Daemen University - Public Events (1), deduplicated, and every entry links back to where it came from. Anyone running something in Amherst can add it free.

Where this calendar comes from

716 Spotlight keeps one calendar for the whole region. Twice a day we check 40 local sources — venue and theatre calendars, libraries, museums, the City of Buffalo listings and the regional ticketing feeds — and merge everything into a single list. Where the same show turns up in more than one feed it is matched and collapsed into one entry, so a concert listed by both the venue and a ticket seller appears once. The same listings are also published as narrower pages — things to do in Buffalo this weekend, things to do in Buffalo this week — for readers who want one slice rather than the whole calendar.

Right now there are 2,547 upcoming events across 28 Western New York towns and cities, at 164 venues. Listings are free, nobody pays to appear, and anyone running something can add it themselves.

Every entry links back to the venue or ticket seller it came from. Times and details can change, so confirm with the venue before heading out. How this calendar works →
