### What happens to an event page after the event?
It stays up at the same address. Once the dates pass, the page shows the last confirmed dates with that year’s price and ages, and we add the next dates when the official page lists them.

### How do you check these yearly events?
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Nov 3, 2026, and we recheck them every Monday and Thursday. [How we choose and check](https://littlesweekly.com/how-we-choose/).
