Our team reviews submissions as quickly as possible — usually within 24 to 48 hours. If your event is time-sensitive, submit it well in advance of the event date.

Events require approval before they go live. If you submitted recently, it may still be under review. Log in and check your account dashboard to see the current status. If it has been more than 48 hours, feel free to contact us.

A good weekend doesn't have to drain your wallet. Use the "Free Entry" filter on our search page to find exactly what you need — everything from gallery walks in Deep Ellum to outdoor summer concerts in Arlington.

Just select the "Family-Friendly" tag. This instantly filters for community festivals, museum free-days, and park events across cities like Plano, Frisco, and McKinney — so you're never guessing whether a festival is actually appropriate for your kids.

Absolutely. We cover massive arena shows, but we also care about the local scene. Whether you want to catch a local acoustic set at a Fort Worth patio bar or a touring band at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, search the live music category to see what's happening tonight.

Every event page includes a venue map and full address. Cross-reference the location with your nearest DART or Trinity Railway Express station to skip the I-35 traffic entirely.

Whenever an organizer provides parking instructions, VIP lot access, or valet details, we include it right in the event description. For notoriously tricky spots like Downtown Dallas or the Stockyards, we link directly to the organizer's official site so you can grab parking passes ahead of time.
