How it works

How the good stuff actually gets to you

Three steps, every week, between Baltimore's scattered calendars and your inbox.

1

We do the digging

Every week we comb 409+ places across Baltimore — museum calendars, library programs, park events, swim schools, rec leagues, and the parent groups where the good stuff actually gets shared.

2

We check it like a parent would

Every event gets looked at the way you would — cost, logistics, the right ages, energy level, and whether you have to register now. Then a real Baltimore dad picks the keepers.

3

You go do cool stuff

Browse the live calendar anytime, or get the week's best family events in your inbox every Thursday morning. Sorted, checked, and ready to go.
