We scour the web to put every concert, festival, trivia night, and local meetup on one map - so you never miss out on what’s happening in your area. BUILD YOUR POSSE • The hardest part of going out isn’t finding where to go - it’s rounding up the crew. The Home for All the Plans: Stop losing important details in your crowded messages.

Coordinate Instantly: Invite friends, plan rides, and hype up the night without cluttering your main DMs. Go Together: See who’s in, who’s out, and exactly where to meet. THE "EVERYTHING" MAP • Stop checking five different websites to plan your weekend. HOWDI pulls event data from sources across the web and partners like Viator to give you the most comprehensive view of your city. Everything in One Place: From major stadium tours to hole-in-the-wall comedy nights to nights to local tours and outdoor adventures. Plus, each event includes easy access to directions, the official website, and a button to add the event to your calendar. Search by Where, When, and What: Don't just read a list of dates. Use the interactive map to filter events precisely by location, date, and over 80 categories, letting you see exactly what's happening in your neighborhood tonight. THE DIGITAL TOWN SQUARE • Connect with your local area like never before. County Chats: Every user is automatically added to their local County Chat.
