How listings work

What gets listed

We list clearly public events where being with people is the point:

• live music and DJ nights
• trivia, bingo, karaoke, open mics, and game nights
• plays, comedy, readings, drag, and improv
• community events like First Friday and street festivals
• dance nights and adult dance lessons, listed under Dance
• adult workshops, practical lessons, fitness, talks, and demonstrations, listed under Talks & Learning
• food truck stops

We skip film screenings, online-only sessions, watch parties, kids’ programming, sales events, and worship services. Many of those are worthwhile, but they fall outside what this site is for.

Where listings come from

We gather listings from public websites, Facebook and Instagram accounts, ticket pages, and community calendars. Every event page links its sources, so you can check the venue’s own posting before you head out.

Would you like your event added to Missoula Tonight?

We scan those sources for clearly public events that fit the categories above. To ask us to watch your website, Facebook page, or Instagram account, email hello@missoulatonight.com with a link.

When listings update

Listings refresh twice a day, around 9 am and 4 pm Mountain time. A show announced in the morning usually shows up by the afternoon refresh.

Changes and cancellations

When a venue cancels or moves a show, the listing is marked as soon as our sources show the change. Listings that drop off their sources get retired.

What can go wrong

We care deeply about accuracy and are committed to keeping listings up to date. Sometimes we miss a change or get a detail wrong. Every event page links to its sources so you can check the latest information before heading out.

Corrections and removal requests

See something wrong or missing, or want your event or organization removed from Missoula Tonight? Email hello@missoulatonight.com with the event or organization name, a link if you have one, and what needs changing.
