Our May events calendar features virtual and live events. We’ll continue to update this calendar throughout the month as many organizers announce new events and online content.
As always, we focus on events with a regular adult admission price of $15 or less. There are a few events with higher ticket prices that we feel might be worth a splurge, mostly music, film, and arts events.
For more expensive events, we look for popular events with available ticket discounts that can help bring the price down.
