Coming up in Bethel

What’s On

Every Bethel calendar that publishes openly, read into one list in date order. Search it, or narrow it to one source calendar or the next few days. A series that repeats shows once with all of its dates.

10 Calendars behind this list

Where these dates come from

Four of the organizations below keep a calendar with dates on it. The rest show nothing dated ahead.

Each calendar, what it publishes, and how many dates it had published when last read.
OrganizationWhat it publishesDates
Town of Bethel The Town's own calendar, including dates other organizations send it. 30
Bethel Parks & Recreation Programs, camps and clinics from the department’s own registration system. 270
Walnut Hill Community Church A church calendar with dates and places. 9
St Mary Church A full parish calendar: Masses, adoration, confession, choir and youth groups. 65
Bethel Arts A calendar with no dates on it. None
First Congregational Church An events page with past services and the Pride parade, and nothing dated ahead. None
Bethel Land Trust Walks and acquisitions posted as news; the most recent entry is several years old. None
Bethel Public Schools The district’s public calendar page sends readers to ParentSquare, which needs an account, so no school dates are public. None
Bethel Historical Society The society keeps a full site with no calendar on it; its programs are announced by other means. None
Connecticut Office of Tourism The state tourism site lists Bethel places to visit, eat and stay, and carries no Bethel dates. None

Some busy calendars in town, among them Byrd’s Books, Edmond Town Hall, Broken Symmetry and the Library Association, keep their dates on their own sites. They join this list when the Town adds them.

Connect a calendar you already keep

An organization that already keeps a calendar, whether Google, Outlook, iCal or its own site, can ask staff to connect a supported feed. New events wait for approval unless staff choose automatic publishing for that source.

A calendar that only shows as a widget embedded on your own site usually has a feed behind it. Connect that feed and your events join this list, searchable and filterable alongside everyone else's, instead of sitting in a frame of their own.

Ask to connect a calendar

A single event

Organizations without a calendar system fill in a short form, and the Town reviews it before it goes on the calendar.
