Happenings Events

Events. Public or private. Physical or virtual. A tool to help people 
organize, experience, enjoy, and learn.

Follow the people and places that organize events and programs you wish to engage with—
friends, cultural institutions, community organizers, local bookstores, venues, etc.
No ads, likes, or irrelevant recommendations. What appears before you is generated by you and the places and people you follow.





We came together as a group of artists, organizers, and technologists to build a simple platform that we all felt was missing. There wasn’t a single destination dedicated to sharing, discovering, and keeping track of both public and private events.

Invites and event-related posts are often lost in cluttered feeds, group texts, inactive social media accounts, and overwhelmed email inboxes. We’ve created a platform that makes it easy to share and discover happenings in our communities—a tool that’s equally useful for attendees and hosts.

At the same time, we want to offer people the freedom to disengage from perpetual social media- use while staying in the know about goings-on. Happenings is a desired alternative to platforms that operate with values that contradict our own.

We prioritize people and their privacy over profit. We reject algorithmic amplification. We are against surveillance capitalism and personal data collection. We are committed to inclusivity, accessibility, sustainability and anti-racism.
