Dates expire automatically
Time-sensitive listings leave current discovery when they end. Useful archives are labeled as past.
Current. Local. Sourced.
Free things near you, without the stale-listing scavenger hunt.
NearMeFree is rebuilding as a community-supported index of genuinely free events and resources. We are proving the model in Commerce City before expanding anywhere else.

The trustworthy reset
A useful city page needs more than a city name.
We will not manufacture thousands of empty pages or present an expired event as current. A city earns an indexable guide only after it has enough source-backed inventory and a way to stay fresh.
Details point home
Every listing keeps an authoritative source link, source organization, and last-checked date.
Submissions enter review
Residents and organizers can help, but a submission is not presented as verified merely because it arrived.
Pilot market
Commerce City is the proof.
NearMeFree began as a local event-promotion idea. The old pages captured only one December 2024 coat drive. The reset keeps that history honestly labeled while building the submission and sourcing loop a durable market needs.

A business that funds usefulness
Could one local partner underwrite a better community guide?
We are testing disclosed city sponsorship and white-label local calendars before betting on consumer advertising. Sponsors fund coverage; they do not control what qualifies or how organic listings rank.
