"We got tired of missing great events because we didn't hear about them until Monday morning. Kids Events This Week exists so that never happens to another family."
How This Started
It started on a Sunday afternoon in Texas. We were looking for something to do with the kids — something nearby, something fun, something that didn't cost a fortune. We searched online and found a dozen different websites, each with outdated listings, broken links, and events from three months ago still showing up at the top.
We ended up staying home. And honestly, that's fine sometimes. But it got us thinking: why doesn't a simple, reliable, city-by-city guide to this week's kids events exist?
So we built one.
What We Do
Kids Events This Week is a local events directory built specifically for parents. We focus on one thing: what's happening for kids near you this week. Not last month. Not in general. This week.
We cover things like:
- Story times and reading programs at local libraries
- Kids' art classes and craft workshops
- Outdoor festivals, farmers markets, and family days
- Theater, music, and performance events for young audiences
- Free and low-cost community events for all ages
- Birthday party ideas and kid-friendly activities year-round
We started here in Texas and are building out city by city. The goal is to eventually cover every major city in the country, but we'd rather do a few cities really well than do everywhere poorly.
Who We Are
We're a small team based in Texas. Not a big media company, not a venture-backed startup. Just people who genuinely want parents to spend less time searching and more time doing.
We don't sell your data. We don't spam you. We just try to keep the event listings current and useful.
Get in Touch
