Where this calendar comes from

716 Spotlight keeps one calendar for the whole region. Twice a day we check 28 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 2,423 upcoming events across 28 Western New York towns and cities, at 146 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 →
