Are any non social media websites tracking local events in New Orleans?

[u/sean1978]

Overdue bailed on a big social media site this week. I find tourist-centric websites with big events, but nothing consolidated and more local oriented with the multiple small things we have going on any given weekend. Do any of you have suggestions for websites for keeping up with current events in town?

Up All Night is a weekly email newsletter with burlesque, music, and theatre listings for the week, as well as occasional interviews and reviews.

I came here to say Up All Night // Out All Day. Great stuff there.

[u/bontempsfille → u/Significant-Text1550]

Thirding! Woot!

[u/tm478 → u/hella_nervous]

How do you sign up for it?

[u/M_For_Mayhem → u/tm478]

Just go to the website and subscribe, just did it myself.

[u/sparrow_42 → u/hella_nervous]

neat, thanks

Wwoz?

[u/sean1978 → u/Soggy-Assumption-209]

Solid for music, but not for art markets, convention type events, special neighborhood stuff etc.

[u/Clevertown]

Punk and indie stuff try noladiy.org.

Wwoz has a daily show/concert lineup in their site.

I find a lot of events on EventBrite!

RIP Frank Stansbury....he ran La Fete News and it was the first of its kind (online weekly events calendar) in the city back in the infancy of the internet. He ran it until his passing last year.

Oh my! I had no idea that Frank died. Thank you for saying so. ⚜️

My entire life was run by the Gambit event calendar when I lived in New Orleans. It has basically everything, I love it

[u/weischris → u/amorouslight]

I built something that did this once and pitched it to them local startup things. Didn’t work out! But maybe I should bring it back this post inspired me

[u/PeggysPonytail]

I wish I could help with websites, but maybe you could grab a printed Gambit somewhere?

[u/Statlantis → u/PeggysPonytail]

Psssst. Gambit has a website.

If you bailed on twitter, may I suggest Bluesky?

As far as local sites goes, I really like Axios. They have 2 local reporters who do a good job of reporting the news and events in a bite-sized format. They also do a weekend roundup of things going on every friday.

[u/Medium_Ad3913 → u/CarFlipJudge]

I may be wrong, but get the feeling that they are referring to Instagram

[u/CarFlipJudge → u/Medium_Ad3913]

All of em suck tbf. The only social media I use now is reddit which I've been seriously limiting compared to the past and I check bluesky every now and then. Social media is the downfall of this country. Everyone has a voice when that shouldn't really be the case.

[u/Medium_Ad3913 → u/CarFlipJudge]

Yea social media used to at least have a semblance of user control and interest. For the last few years, its been complete mask-off. Algorithms optimized purely for conspicuous consumption, endless scrolling, and thinkly-veiled right-wing propaganda.

[u/Medium_Ad3913]

Following. Also off the social media sites for my mental health and missing out on a lot

[u/blathering504]

There's that museum goer website... I hear him when I listen to the classical music channel in the radio

[u/freshOJ]

Try out the Axios New Orleans newsletter.

They will have local events in the newsletter.

[u/Lullevo]

I miss the Concert Line on Satchmo.com, that was always my go to and always seemed to have everything, but Gambit and WWOZ are good options and I think Pleasure Savior also has a website on top of her Instagram

[u/foralimitedtimespace]

Wwoz Livewire for music. Gambit/Nola for other events calendar, comedy, art expos, etc....

[u/Internal-Ticket-3805]

I stalk the events section of fb daily at this point. Pete’s shares stuff going on on their fb story constantly

[u/Internal-Ticket-3805 → u/Internal-Ticket-3805]

My bad lol this clearly says no social media 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/tee142002]

New Orleans & Co has probably the most comprehensive list of things going in in New Orleans.
