Sources, accuracy and corrections

Our goal is a useful starting point for local plans with a clear path back to the source.

Where listings come from

Automatic sources include Louisville Tourism, Live in Lou, Things To Lou, Kentucky Performing Arts, UofL’s public calendar, Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Speed Art Museum, Louisville Zoo, Headliners, Frazier History Museum, Mercury Ballroom, Louisville Downtown Partnership, Hop Atomica Louisville and TEN20 Brewery. Some are organizers; others are local event aggregators. Additional sources are dated research snapshots, not live feeds.

The finder’s Sources & coverage panel shows configured sources, outcomes and check times. Automatic imports are scheduled daily. When a source fails, its earlier listings may remain with the earlier successful check time. A successful partial calendar read can also retain listings it did not observe.

What we publish

We normalize event names, dates, venues and admission facts. Selected organizer feeds (currently Speed Art Museum and Louisville Zoo) and brewery-related records may include short plain-text source excerpts and published attendance notes, with source links and check dates. Age and accessibility notes describe only the specific statement published by the source; omitted information remains unknown. We do not reproduce full source articles or event flyers. Reddit discussions and newsletters can help discover leads; they are not automatic feeds, and organizer facts need confirmation before an addition.

Unknown information and recurring events

Missing prices are not free. Missing times are not midnight. Broad multi-day listings do not prove an activity happens every day. Published weekly rules are shown as schedules to confirm, not guaranteed dated bookings. Duplicate detection is imperfect, especially when calendars use different event titles or venue names.

Automation and review

Software and AI-assisted development help collect and organize source information. Automated categories and labels can be wrong; the site does not claim that a person has independently checked every imported listing. Source excerpts remain attributed. Search and sharing do not replace checking the organizer’s latest page.

Request a correction

Send the Around Louisville event URL, what needs correcting, and a link to the organizer’s current information. Please avoid sending private attendee details. We can review a source or listing; ticket purchases and refunds must go through the ticket provider. Old event links remain understandable after a listing leaves the current calendar.
