Free to browse. Built for Melbourne families and community organisers.
We started Local Happenings because we were tired of big event sites that only show major attractions. We wanted the real local stuff: the school fete around the corner, the sausage sizzle at the park, the family fun day at the community centre.
Local Happenings brings those community events into one simple place so you can find what's on near you by suburb, category, or date.
Running a local event? We'd love to feature it. Submit your event on the site - it's free.
Already listed and something looks off? Email us at stephen@localhappenings.com.au and we'll sort it out.
Local organisers and venue partners who feature with us help keep the site going.
You can feature your event for $25. It gets a spot on our homepage, a FEATURED badge across the site, and priority placement in our weekly newsletter for up to two weeks, plus a private stats page so you can see how it's going.
Local Happenings is focused on family-friendly community events in Melbourne, Australia. Whether it's a school fete, a park playgroup, or a neighbourhood festival, if it's something you'd take the kids to, we want it here.
