About GoLark

Lark: a carefree or spirited adventure; to have fun

GoLark is a website for finding and sharing fun things to do in your town. Whether it's a concert, museum exhibit, lecture, or just something cool to see in your area, if you submit it, others can find it! All events are submitted and voted on by the GoLark community so that the best ones get pushed to the top of the list.

Top Events and New Events

Top Events are the best events and activities voted up by the GoLark community. New Events are events and activities that have just been submitted. If an event on the New Events page gets enough votes it will make it onto the Top Events page.

Voting On Events

Voting on events is a great way to share your opinion with the rest of the GoLark community. Clicking on the "Up Arrow" or "Down Arrow" buttons to the right of each event will affect its ranking in the overall list. The more you share your opinion, the better the list will get. Voting on events also helps GoLark keep track of the things you like or dislike for better recommendations. Submitting events is a great way to share fun things to do with the rest of the GoLark community.

Popularity & Points

Points are the number of "up" votes versus "down" votes. It gives you a rough idea of how interested people are in an event. Popularity gives you a different idea by taking into account how quickly those "up" votes happened. So if two events get submitted at the same time and one gets 5 points in 2 minutes while the other gets 5 points in 2 days, the first one is liked better by the GoLark community.

Submitting New Events

Submitting is a great way to promote an event or activity, whether it be a local band playing or a pleasant hike through the woods.

Browsing Tags

Browsing through tags is a great way to find things that interest you. By clicking the View Categories link you can view all the tag words associated with events in the list. Clicking tag words will show all other events related to it.

GoLark is free to join. So join up and start voting and sharing the fun happenings you hear about. Submit as much as you like!
