How to Search for Events Around You Using Google Search
We will explain how to search for events near where you live using Google search. There are several applications on your mobile device that allow you to find events near where you live. But now, Google has implemented a new function in its search engine with which you will also be able to find them without installing anything.
This is a new module that they have implemented in the search results, and we will give you the basic notions necessary for you to be able to get the most out of it. We will tell you what information is displayed and how you can interact with it, something that can be done in exactly the same way both from your PC browser and from your mobile.
Search Events
The Google events section is a module that integrates directly into the search engine, which means that you will have to perform certain searches to launch it. All you have to do is search for the word Event on Google or other derivatives such as Madrid Events or Saturday Events.
Events box
If you perform a search in which you do not specify the location, Google will obtain the location data of your device to show you the events near you. He will do it with the picture you see in the capture, where you can see a list of the nearby events of the nearby towns where you live. All events will include the date and address where they are held.
Events Page
If you click on a specific date or the Search for more events button, you will enter a full screen where Google will have cataloged all that you have for you. This screen has several categories, and then we will tell you what you can see in each one.
All events: Through this list, you could find with all the events near you or the location you have searched is displayed. You can see those of today, or of specific days. To bring all events on the first search, you could type events around me on Google Search and it will bring you the same results.
For you: Google uses what it knows about your personal tastes to recommend events.
Saved: The events you have decided to save are displayed. This is managed through the Google account where you are logged in, just like the one for you.
Concerts: Shows only the events that are concerts.
Festivals: Shows only events that are any type of festival.
Free events: Shows all kinds of free events, from conferences to activities.
Shows: Shows only events that are shown, such as plays, circuses or dinner shows.
Nightlife: Shows only night events. These do not have to do only with partying at night since there are also from night marathons to other types of shows.
Save Event
In the left column, you will see the categories of events, which will be displayed in the central column. When you click on one, the information you will see in the column on the right. All events have a Save event button, both in the center column and on the right. The idea is that you keep those that interest you to have them always accessible in the Saved section.
More info
If you click on the More information button on the tab of an event, the external page of the event will open. This can be from the page of the entity that organizes it to the online store where to buy tickets. You also have buttons to share them or the Directions with which to start browsing.
Events Location
As we have said, although nearby events are always going to prevail, you can also search for the events of a specific location by adding the name of the town or city to the term Events when you do the search. Keep in mind that the events remain in the saved module, but are not added to the Google calendar.
Event Date Location
You can also add a date to searches, or combine a location with a date. By doing so, Google will show you on its panel the list of events that take place on the day or month you specified. If you add the city as you see in the capture, they will be those of the day or month in the locality where you have indicated.
