What Is LampPost? Free Local Event Discovery

LampPost Social is a local event discovery platform — one place to browse everything happening in your city, from live music and community meetups to games, art nights, and volunteer events.

Tens of thousands of locals use LampPost to find their next night out, discover new hosts, and stay connected to what is happening nearby.

Built for people looking for things to do

LampPost was created to solve a simple problem: finding great local events should not mean scrolling through scattered Instagram posts, broken links, and a dozen different calendars. LampPost curates events in one feed, calendar, and twice-weekly newsletter so people can actually discover what is on in their city.
