How to Find and Register for Local Events Using Eventbrite

Eventbrite is a free app and website that lists thousands of events happening in your area — from free community classes and outdoor festivals to paid concerts and workshops. It is used by event organizers of all kinds, from local libraries hosting book clubs to large concert venues selling tickets.

The app is free to download and free to use for browsing and registering for free events. For paid events, you purchase your ticket directly through Eventbrite and receive a confirmation email with a digital ticket that you show at the door.

Eventbrite is a good way to discover things to do in your community that you might not have found otherwise. Many events posted on Eventbrite are run by local community groups, churches, senior centers, libraries, and small businesses — the kind of events that do not always get covered in the local newspaper.

You can search by category (music, food and drink, arts, sports, outdoor, community) or by date (today, this weekend, this week) to find events that fit your schedule. You can also filter for free events only if you are looking for things to do without spending money.

Setting up an Eventbrite account is straightforward and only requires an email address. Once you have an account, your registered events are saved in one place so you can easily find the details and your ticket when the day comes.
