Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Eugene events, source links, submissions, and weekly updates.
What events are happening in Eugene this weekend?
Use the This Weekend page for a date-bounded list of Eugene, Springfield, and nearby Lane County events. The first version pulls from public calendars and venue feeds, then improves as more sources are verified.
See this weekend →Where do the event listings come from?
The MVP favors structured public sources like city calendars, UO Localist, venue feeds, iCalendar, RSS, and WordPress event APIs. Each event should keep a source link so readers can verify details before they go.
Can I submit an event?
Yes. Submit a public source link, venue, date, time, and any price or age details you know. Submissions should be reviewed before publication.
Submit an event →Do you scrape Facebook groups?
Private groups should not be scraped. Public social posts can help with discovery, but the cleaner path is permission, public source links, and a submission workflow.
How often is the site updated?
The feed pipeline is designed for daily updates. The newsletter should start as one weekly human-reviewed roundup after the event data is reliable.
Why are some events grouped under Eugene instead of a neighborhood?
Some feeds only publish city-level location data. The venue registry maps known places into neighborhoods over time, but uncertain rows should stay broad rather than pretend to know more than the source says.
