Frequently asked questions

What counts as the weekend on this page?

Friday evening through Sunday night. Events that start on Friday from 6pm are included, so a free Friday gig or late gallery opening shows up here as well as Saturday and Sunday daytime.

Is everything here actually free?

Every listing on OnlyHere carries the price its source published, and this page only shows the ones marked free. Some free events still ask you to book a ticket in advance; the listing links to where.
