What is Forest City Events?

Forest City Events is a community-run events calendar for London, Ontario. No algorithms, no ads, no corporate sponsors. Just people sharing what's happening in our city.

We focus on grassroots, community-driven events — the kind of stuff that makes London worth living in but doesn't always make it onto the mainstream radar.

What We List

Community organizing — rallies, town halls, solidarity actions, mutual aid
Arts and culture — local music, theatre, open mics, gallery shows, film screenings
Learning — workshops, skill shares, lectures, book clubs, popular education
Food and gathering — community meals, food drives, markets, potlucks
Movement and outdoors — group rides, walks, sports, outdoor activities
Family and youth — kid-friendly events, youth programming

What We Don't List

Corporate-sponsored events or brand activations
Events requiring expensive tickets with no sliding scale or accessibility options
Virtual/online events unless they are specifically London-focused
Events that conflict with our values of anti-racism, anti-colonialism, feminism, and 2SLGBTQI+ liberation

Submit an Event

Anyone can submit an event. If it's happening in London and it serves the community, we want it here. Use the + button to add yours, or drop it in our Telegram group.

Who Runs This?

Forest City Events is maintained by volunteers from Forest City Solidarity and friends. It runs on Gancio, free and open-source software for community calendars.

No one owns this. It belongs to the community.
