Welcome!This calendar is actively updated by one person so that community events are reliably listed in one location. No more scrolling through Facebook events. No more clicking around the internet hunting for something new & fun to do. Simply look here first.

How It WorksAmelia Cueva created and runs the calendar. Every week, she scours the internet, hunting for events, posting any event that catches her eye. She also has a spreadsheet listing over 250 local organizations and businesses (most of them nonprofits) that she checks once a month.
If you want to attend an event that is listed but also want to check for cancelations or updates, please check with the official host for event updates. |
The Calendar's RegionFeaturing events for Corning, Elmira, Hammondsport, Horseheads, Ithaca, Owego, Penn Yan, Watkins Glen, and the areas around Keuka and Seneca lakes.
Specifically, Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, Yates, Seneca, Tompkins, and Tioga Counties. Add An EventAlthough anyone can submit an event for approval (see below), check the calendar first to see if Amelia has already posted your event.
To add/update an event, email: [email protected] Be sure to include detailed event info and an image (jpg or png please). Event submissions will be added during normal business hours. Please allow 24 - 48 hours. *Please note, classes, workshops, and multi-month exhibitions overload the calendar too easily, so special one-day or one-weekend only events are preferred & prioritized. Amelia reserves the right to post or not post events at her discretion. Amelia is also not liable for completeness or accuracy of the event information that she finds and posts. |
The Calendar's Core MissionTraditional online events calendars rely on you to submit your event. However, this means the quality & quantity of events can be inconsistent and incomplete. Not everyone has the time, energy, or marketing team to upload each event, one at a time, to each online calendar in the area. (Let alone in different formats with different requirements for each online calendar.)
Because one person is compiling event information, FLXcalendar consistently lists 250+ events per month (on average)--sometimes as many as 400 over busy months! And because Amelia is a Finger Lakes native and resident for many years, she is an area expert who is connected and familiar with many of the best events in the area. FLXcalendar is made by a local for other locals (and folks who want to become a local). #flxcalendar |
