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.

Where this calendar comes from

716 Spotlight keeps one calendar for the whole region. Twice a day we check 27 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 2,491 upcoming events across 31 Western New York towns and cities, at 208 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.
