Live feeds

Pick the calendars you want. Subscribe once. They stay updated automatically.

Family / Kids

family.ics

Festivals, markets, library events, farms, kid-friendly shows, seasonal stuff (pumpkins, lights, eggs, etc.). Built for “what are we doing this weekend?” without doomscrolling.

Adults / Nightlife

adult.ics

Live music, brewery nights, wine/cider, comedy, theatre, specials — the “text your friends” calendar. Great for last-minute plans.

Recurring

recurring.ics

Weekly trivia, repeating specials, “every first Thursday” stuff, and predictable deals. The backbone calendar that makes the rest feel organized.

Subscribe

iPhone-friendly steps, plus options for Google Calendar and Outlook.

iPhone / iPad

Subscribe on iOS (recommended)

This makes the calendars auto-update. You’ll see events in the Calendar app like any other calendar.

  1. Open Settings → Calendar → Accounts
  2. Tap Add Account → Other
  3. Tap Add Subscribed Calendar
  4. Paste one of the feed URLs (copy buttons below) → Next → Save
Tip: You can subscribe to all three feeds. Turn them on/off in Calendar’s “Calendars” list anytime.
Google / Outlook

Subscribe elsewhere

These are standard ICS subscription links, so most calendar apps can subscribe. Quick notes:

  1. Google Calendar: Settings → Add calendar → From URL → paste feed URL.
  2. Outlook (desktop): Add a calendar subscription by URL (varies by version). If your Outlook only imports files, you can still open the URL and import the ICS.
  3. Any calendar app: look for “Subscribe by URL” / “Add calendar from URL”.
Some apps refresh subscribed calendars on their own schedule (every few hours). That’s normal — the feed stays current.

How it works

Small-batch automation: scrape trusted sources, normalize, dedupe, categorize, publish.

Step 01

Collect

Pull from venue pages, community calendars, and other public sources with predictable formats.

Step 02

Normalize + dedupe

Clean titles, dates, and locations; remove repeats across sources so your calendar doesn’t get noisy.

Step 03

Categorize + publish

Route events into family / adult / recurring feeds, then publish stable ICS URLs you can subscribe to.

Maker’s note

Built to be boring (in a good way)

The goal is reliability: clear logs, graceful failure, and calendars that keep working even when a source page changes. If a source breaks, it gets fixed — without you doing anything.

FAQ

Short answers to the questions that always pop up.

Updates

How often do these update?

The feed is refreshed regularly (typically daily) and republished to the same URLs. Your calendar app then refreshes on its own schedule.

Accuracy

What if an event changes?

If a source updates an event time/title/location, the next refresh should reflect that change. For last-minute changes, the official venue page is always the best source of truth.

Privacy

Do you track me?

No. Subscribed calendar URLs are static. This is about publishing useful public schedules, not collecting user data.

Add / fix a source

Want a venue included (or something corrected)?

Send a link and the category it belongs in (family/adult/recurring). If it’s public and stable, it’s usually a quick add.

Contact

Have a source suggestion, a bug report, or want a city feed like this for somewhere else?

Support / suggestions

Email is easiest. Include: source link, category (family/adult/recurring), and anything that looks wrong.
