Every upcoming event at The Compass Performing Arts Factory 545 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo NY 14222 — and tap “Everything in the 716” any time to widen back out to Buffalo and WNY.
Listings are gathered from local venues, theatres, libraries, museums and public calendars across Western New York, and every entry links back to its source. Running something? Add it to the calendar.
716 Spotlight keeps one calendar for the whole region. Twice a day we check 26 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.
Right now there are 2,424 upcoming events across 30 Western New York towns and cities, at 207 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.
