    Questions

    Are the events on this page real?
    The weekend board in the first towns shows real listings, checked by hand against each organizer's page. Plans change, so confirm with the organizer before you go. The Thursday List preview, the plans, tables, shops and classified ads are examples, to show how it works.
    Is it free?
    Yes. Browsing, the Thursday email and posting cost nothing. You never need an account to see what's on.
    Can I sell things or charge for my event?
    Yes. Post paid events, classes, stalls and deals, and link to wherever you take payment. We show a ticket price only when it's the total you'll pay, fees included. Otherwise we link to the seller for the price.
    Where do the events come from?
    From the public calendars of libraries, rec departments, venues and groups, plus neighbors who post directly. Each listing names its source and links to it.
    How often will you email me?
    Once a week, on Thursday, once your town's list starts. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
    Is my town covered?
    Westwood, Massachusetts and the eight towns around it come first. Request yours and we'll email you if and when it opens.
    Who's behind it?
    TheWorkCompany. We don't sell your data and there are no third-party ad trackers. Read our Privacy Policy.

    Bring a neighbor.
