Tallahassee Democrats Event Listings

Tallahassee Democrat Event Calendar

Always I am finding new things to do in Tallahassee and new resources to find interesting activities. This is a rather obvious one that I overlooked, perhaps because the Democrat's website does not include a readily accessible link to the 'Events' section. The search feature takes a little effort to use, unless you know exactly what you're looking for, and unfortunately it's difficult to browse by category. It's a simple matter, though, to check out what's going on during a specific day. There's a surprising number of entries here, most (if not all) of which are not related to FSU or university life, which is very refreshing.

The Beta Bar

As a venue I think that the Beta Bar is dirty and poorly planned, but it hosts some bands that are well worth the sacrifice. Notably, Band Marino (from Orland0), The Ums (Tallahassee natives) and Look Mexico (also Tallahassee natives) usually play shows at the Beta Bar. Check out their calendar for the full schedule of concerts, including some I might not have added to this blog's calendar.

Art-Bike Parade

After creating bikes that are also works of arts and possibly dressing in costume, cyclists from around the Tallahassee area will ride a slow parade through Downtown to showcase their work. Afterward, there will be a free Bike Film Fest in Railroad Square and a Bike-Power exhibit at 621 Gallery. Ride your bike to the parade, the film fest and the gallery!

Tallahassee Film Society

This horribly rendered site has a schedule hidden in it of all the movies playing at independent venues in Tallahassee, including All-Saints Cinema and other small, obscure theaters. Definitely not for exclusive fans of mainstream movies.
