A free app for iPhone

This Week helps you find out what's happening near you.

Open the app and you'll see this week's local events on a map, from farmers markets and live music to comedy nights and trivia. Tap on anything to see when and where it is.

The app isn't in the App Store just yet. For now this button takes you to our waitlist, and we'll email you when it's ready to download.

How it works

Here's what you can do in the app.

  1. A list of the week's events sorted by day, with farmers markets, trivia nights, live music, and comedy.

    Look through the week

    Events are sorted by day, so you can check what's on tonight or plan ahead for the weekend.

  2. An event page for King Harbor Oktoberfest, showing the dates, the address, and buttons to share, add to calendar, and get a reminder.

    Read the details

    Each event shows when and where it is, with buttons for directions, your calendar, and sharing with a friend.

  3. An event page for a Flux Capacitors show, with the choices Going, Interested, and Not going.

    Keep track of your plans

    Mark an event as going or interested, and the app can send you a reminder before it starts.

What you'll find

There's usually more going on nearby than you'd guess.

Each week the map fills up with farmers markets, live music, comedy, trivia nights, festivals, and other local events. It's an easy way to notice things you might otherwise have missed.

You can look at one day at a time on the map, or see the whole week as a list.
