Next weekend’s list lands before you start making plans — free, every weekday at 6am.
How this list works
When does this weekend list go final?
It rebuilds every weekday morning, so Friday's list is settled by Friday at 6am and anything added late in the week shows up here first. Times and prices are re-checked on the way in — if an organizer moved something on Thursday night, the Friday list reflects the move, not the old listing.
Is any of this free?
Most weekends, a good chunk of it. Every line prints its real price, and the free ones say so plainly rather than hiding behind "donations welcome" — so you can scan the list and see the cost before you commit to anything.
Why is there no Facebook link anywhere on this page?
Because you shouldn't need an account to find out what's on in your own city. Every link here goes to the organizer's own page, where the details actually live and nothing asks you to log in first.
Sorting out tonight instead? Here’s what’s on in Memphis today. Looking further ahead — everything coming up, or the free things to do guide.
Stop Googling this every Friday.
The weekend, sorted for you — one free 5-minute email, every weekday at 6am.
Free forever. Unsubscribe anytime — we’ll still say hey around town.
