What’s there to
do around here?

All the local shows and events in one place.

That’s North Shore Night Out.

Everybody likes finding cool stuff, and tons of it happens from Lynn to Newburyport. Join the fight against empty stages and unwitnessed brilliance by knowing what, when, and where stuff is happening.

Because not all memorable events are polished, NSNO prefers to showcase bar gigs, high school plays, college games, and the likes over big ticket performances.

All calendar listings are free.

If your event could benefit from some eyeballs, let us know. NSNO lists stuff like:

  • Concerts

  • Plays

  • Sports

  • Art exhibits

  • Trivia

  • Karaoke

  • City events

NSNO is where people find stuff to do along the North Shore. If we can help people find your event, let us know.

Note: If an event doesn’t seem to fit within the NSNO scope, we reserve the right not to include it in the list.

 FAQs

  • Yes! Showing up in the calendar is free for venues. Costs only exist for venues seeking extra exposure in the Weekend Report, the Featured Events section, or in special social media posts.

  • Is the event meant for spectators and patrons? Would it benefit from, say, October tourist traffic? Is it for general audiences or niche audiences? Think of it like this: crowds should attend high school jazz concerts, not quiet nights of meditation. Basically, we love events with standing room.

  • As last-minuters ourselves, NSNO caters to folks who have unexpected free time or who need to make plans they should’ve made months ago. Those people can subscribe to the NSNO Weekend Report to get the read on what’s happening later on.

  • Please use the forms on the website. Thanks.

  • Baseball/softball is the best sport. Sorry. It’s the only sport you can count on us posting, and all others are a luxury.
