About London Live

A community-run guide to events, arts, and culture in London, Ontario. No ads. No algorithms. Just what's on.

Why we built this

London has an incredible arts, music, and community scene - but finding out what's happening can feel like detective work. Events are scattered across venue websites, Instagram accounts, Facebook groups, and word of mouth.

London Live pulls it all together into one place. We automatically gather events from 20+ local sources - from the Grand Theatre to neighbourhood Instagram accounts - so you never miss something great.

How it works

Our scrapers run daily, pulling events from venue websites, Tourism London, Eventbrite, local Instagram accounts, and Facebook community groups. Every event is verified, de-duplicated, and attributed back to its original source.

We don't create event listings - we surface them. If you see an event here, it came from the organizer or venue directly.

Community-first

London Live is open source and built with love for this city. We're not trying to be the next Eventbrite - we're trying to be the friend who always knows what's going on.

If you know about an event that's not listed, you can submit it directly through our platform. Community submissions are moderated to keep the quality high.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about London Live.

How do I submit an event?

Click "Add event" on the main site to submit your event. Community submissions are reviewed before they go live - usually within a few hours. Make sure to include a good image and accurate date/time.

Where do you get your events from?

We scrape events from 20+ local sources including Tourism London, Eventbrite, major venues (Grand Theatre, Aeolian Hall, London Music Hall, Palace Theatre, Museum London), community organizations, Instagram accounts, and Facebook groups. Every event is attributed to its original source.

I see an error in an event listing. How do I fix it?

Since we pull data from external sources, sometimes details aren't perfect. Email us or flag the event and we'll correct it. We always defer to the original venue's listing.

Is this free?

Yes, completely free. No ads, no paywalls, no tracking. London Live is a community project, not a business.

Can I get a weekly email digest?

Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. For now, you can subscribe to our RSS feed or iCal calendar feed from the main site.

I'm a venue/organizer. Can I get a direct feed?

Yes! London Live supports RSS, iCal, and ActivityPub (Fediverse). Contact us and we can set up a direct import from your website so your events automatically appear here.

What about events outside London?

We focus specifically on London, Ontario and the immediate surrounding area. We love our neighbours in Kitchener, Hamilton, and Toronto - but they have their own great event platforms.

Is this open source?

Yes. London Live is built on Gancio, which is open source software. Our scraper code and frontend are also open. If you want to build something similar for your city, we'd love to help.
