What counts as "this weekend" in Emerald Coast?
Friday through Sunday, currently Sep 25–27. When a holiday falls on the Thursday before or the Monday after, the weekend stretches to include it. From Monday to Thursday the page shows the coming weekend; from Friday it shows the one under way.
How current is this list?
It is built live from the The Emerald Coast Guide events calendar every time the page loads, so a new Emerald Coast event appears here as soon as it is approved. Times, venues and prices come from the event listing itself. A weekend roundup story is also published each Thursday morning.
How do I get an event in Emerald Coast listed?
