Want to add your venue or event?
There's no criteria for inclusion — if you want on here, cool, we'll add you!
Suggesting an Event from the App
The easiest way to get an event on the site is to use the app. Here's how:
- Open the Terceira Events app on your phone
- From the Home screen, tap Suggest Event
- Fill in the form — only the event name, date, and venue are required
- Optionally add time, address, Google Maps link, description, Instagram link, and your name (for credit)
- 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.
