Suggesting an Event from the App

The easiest way to get an event on the site is to use the app. Here's how:

  1. Open the Terceira Events app on your phone
  2. From the Home screen, tap Suggest Event
  3. Fill in the form — only the event name, date, and venue are required
  4. Optionally add time, address, Google Maps link, description, Instagram link, and your name (for credit)
  5. Tap Submit

Your suggestion goes straight into our review queue. Once we check it over, it shows up on the site and in the app automatically.

Opening a Pull Request

If you're comfortable with GitHub, you can submit changes directly. This is the fastest path because you skip the review queue — your PR shows up immediately once merged.

For a Special Event

Add an entry to _data/special_events.yml:

- date: 2026-06-15
  name: "Concert at Teatro Angrense"
  venue: Teatro Angrense
  address: Rua da Esperança 48-52, Angra do Heroísmo
  map_url: https://maps.app.goo.gl/...
  time: "21:30"
  description: "Live music with special guest."
  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/...
  tags:
    - live-music
    - kid-friendly

Only date, name, and venue are required. The date field must be in YYYY-MM-DD format.

address is the human-readable street address shown on the card. map_url is an optional Google Maps share link (e.g. maps.app.goo.gl/...) that powers the "Open in Maps" button — use it when you want to pin a precise location. If map_url is omitted, the button falls back to a Google Maps search of the address.

Add a tags list to help visitors filter the calendar. Available tags are defined in _data/event_tags.yml: kid-friendly, live-music, cinema, theater, dance, nightlife, karaoke, food-drink, exhibition, literature, workshop, free, outdoor, bullfighting.

For a Weekly Recurring Event

Add an entry to _data/weekly.yml under the appropriate day:

- day: Wednesday
  events:
    - name: Karaoke Night
      venue: Tasca do Camões
      time: "20:30"
      description: Weekly karaoke at Camões
      address: Rua Da Rocha 64, Angra do Heroísmo

For a New Venue

Edit venues.md and add a new venue-card block following the existing pattern. Include the address, a Google Maps search link, description, and any relevant social media links.

Reaching Out Directly

Not a fan of forms or GitHub? That works too.

  • Instagram DM@chrisrackauckas
  • In person — find Chris at karaoke nights. You'll know which one.

Send a flyer, a description, a rough date, whatever you have. We'll sort it out.

What We Accept

Pretty much anything happening on Terceira: concerts, festivals, bullfights, karaoke nights, dance parties, book launches, theater, cinema screenings, exhibitions, workshops, sports events, and everything in between.

Both Angra do Heroísmo and Praia da Vitória — and anywhere else on the island.

Events in Portuguese and English are equally welcome. If you want to promote your venue's weekly events, we'll add those too.
