How Do I Find and Participate in Local Events?

If you like art in all its forms, look for a local performance center!

Whether it's the National Concert Hall, Centennial Opera House, Community Playhouse, or Live House, they all have a range of events on their schedules.

If you have time, attend one!  You can get to know a place better from a cultural perspective.

Find a Class!

You're kidding! A class to go out and have fun! Yes!

And you won't regret it. Find a topic you are interested in, search online for a class near you, and take a fun class!

You can take a lawn yoga class, and hear many interesting things about the area from the teacher.

Taking a jazz drum class and learned about the life of a local music teacher is also highly recommended!

Learn to dance the Bachata and met many cheerful and enthusiastic friends too.

Besides learning, you will become more involved in the local life, and meet the teachers and classrooms. During the process you will gain more information and experience as well!

Be a Volunteer!

There are many places in the world, and many issues, that need more help.

Many nonprofit organizations will list what they need volunteers for, what they do, and when. Choose an issue that you care about and get involved!

As you help the world, you will learn more about the issue and become more connected to the community.

ASK is the Best Way!

Just open your curiosity and ask.

I often ask B&Bs/hotels if they have any events they would like to go to.

I have seen restaurants with a lot of music decorations and asked the owner if they have any concert recommendations.
