Events by category #
Categories are taken from the current normalised listing record. “Other” includes missing or unclassified values.
Events by month #
Dated listings grouped by their start month inside the rolling report window.
Events by weekday #
Start dates grouped by weekday. Multi-day events are counted on their start day.
Price status #
Missing prices remain unknown rather than being treated as paid.
Most active venue labels #
Source venue names are normalised for case and spacing, then obvious placeholders are excluded. Remaining spelling variants can still split one physical place.

Methodology and limits #
This report counts Rockhopping listings marked live whose end date has not passed, limited to starts within the next 365 days; recurring listings without a fixed start date are retained. It is a view of the listings we have gathered, not a census of every event taking place.
“Free” means the source or our review explicitly marks a listing free. A missing price is reported as unknown, never assumed to be paid. Venue labels and provider names come from source records and may contain spelling variants. Counts can change as sources update, events end, duplicates are resolved or corrections arrive.
The report refreshes from the live database on request and is cached for up to one hour. Data shown here was last observed on .
