We are a collective of locals who are passionate about creating community and exploring new experiences. There have been a lot of public conversations on social media about the lack of culture in Santa Cruz; however, we couldn't disagree more. Santa Cruz is poppin, with so much to do and offer.
These conversations motivated us to create Santa Cruz Scene, a platform that highlights all the events and activities in Santa Cruz, with the aim of supporting local producers and event organizers in getting more folx to their events. The easier we can make it to spread awareness around all of the happenings in our community, the more people will show up and the more successful and engaging these events can be.
There are other community calendars, but we hope this one can be extensive, cohesive, and offer a comprehensive weekly glimpse into what is happening.
How we find events
We gather listings from venue and organization calendars (the public libraries, UC Santa Cruz, local venues and more) and from events readers submit. Imported listings are checked automatically, and every reader submission is reviewed by a person before it appears.
Featured events are picked by us.
