Find events you'll actually
want to go to
Recs is a curated events platform where trusted locals share the best things happening in their city — hand-picked by people who actually go out.
Know your city's scene?
We're always looking for curators who live and breathe their local events. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
Run events?
Get your events in front of the right audience through curators who already have their trust. No ads required.
Finding great events shouldn't be hard. But right now it is. Ticketing platforms show you everything — thousands of listings optimized for ad spend, not for your interests. Social media buries events in feeds designed for engagement, not discovery. And the people who actually know what's good? They're sharing recs one DM at a time.
We built Recs to fix that. Instead of trying to algorithmically guess what you'd like, we let the people who know best — local curators — do the filtering for you.
Real people with real taste, sharing the events they'd actually go to (or wish they could!).
How Recs works
A simple model: real people, real taste, real events.
Curators
Trusted locals who know the best events in their city apply and get their own profile and calendar.
Curation
Curators hand-pick events and organize them into themed calendars — no scraping, no bulk imports.
Calendars
Follow curators and calendars to build a personalized feed of events you'll actually want to attend.
Cities
Discover what's happening wherever you are, filtered through people who live and breathe the local scene.
What we believe
Taste over traffic
We don't surface events based on who paid the most or what's trending. Every event on Recs was hand-picked by a curator who actually goes out.
People over algorithms
The best recommendations come from people you trust, not machines. Our curators are the connectors, creators, and scene-builders in their cities.
Community over scale
We'd rather have 50 curators who deeply know their scene than 5,000 who don't. Quality curation means saying no to most things.
Curators own their audience
Your calendar lives at your own link. Share it anywhere, keep your followers, and never worry about platform changes pulling the rug.
Who we are
Recs was built by two people who believe the best way to discover events is through people you trust.
