What we list — as of November 7, 2026
Our own listings, counted from our own data — with the definitions behind every number on our methodology page.
Counts are as of November 7, 2026. “Listing reviewed” means a listing passed our review rule — a dated editor review, sources listed, and not a projected placeholder. It does not mean every fact on the page was checked one by one. How we count each number: How we build our listings. Our original research — dated, source-backed analysis of our own listing data, starting with how show weekends are distributed across the year and across states: Research reports.

Our source policy
Listing reviewed or verification pending — never presented as fact otherwise
Every event listing carries one of three review labels: Listing reviewed, Verification pending, or Not yet reviewed. “Listing reviewed” means the listing passed our review rule — a dated editor review, sources listed, and not a projected placeholder. It does not mean every fact on the page was checked one by one against an official document. Listings still awaiting review are published labelled as such, never as reviewed fact — and we always say to verify closing dates with the superintendent before entering.

Listings are refreshed as new official documents appear. Verify closing dates with the superintendent before entering.
