Keeping residents informed about the existence of local events is necessary to reach events' targeted audiences and realize their positive consequences. This article reports on an initial study of the online event information landscape of neighborhoods in a mid-sized US city. Our results show that the event information landscape is highly fragmented, decentralized, and has low rates of duplication. This creates challenges for residents looking for event information and for event organizers and technology developers seeking to provide timely information about events.
