Start with the City

The City’s website is the starting point for municipal events, recreation and Great Park arts programming. Follow the listing through to its current event page before adding anything to your calendar. Seasonal schedules change, and a past announcement is not a current invitation.

Check campus programming

UCI’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts publishes its own performance and exhibition information. Check the school’s current events listings for public access, ticketing, venue and parking details. A campus event can be a rewarding way to discover another part of Irvine.

Keep the source close

Save the organizer’s page with your plan. Recheck the date, start time, cancellation policy and access requirements before you go. We point you to real calendars rather than filling an events page with invented dates.
