# Gladdy - What's On in Gladstone

> Gladdy is a free, daily-updated guide to what's on in Gladstone, Queensland: events, live music, family days, markets, sport and cinema, each with its date, venue, price and a link to the organiser.

## What Gladdy is

Gladdy (gladdy.com.au) is a free what's on guide for Gladstone, Queensland, Australia, covering Gladstone and the towns a local treats as part of it: Boyne Island, Tannum Sands, Calliope, Benaraby, Yarwun and Mount Larcom.

Every day it reads the region's event sources - Gladstone Regional Council, the Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre, Gladstone Regional Libraries, local clubs, pubs and venues, ticketing sites and community calendars - and publishes the events worth a local's free time: festivals, live music, markets, family days, sport, talks, workshops and cinema sessions.

Each event page gives the date and time, the venue and address, the price, a short summary, and a link to the organiser. Listings are checked against their source on every visit, so a cancelled or moved event is updated or withdrawn rather than left standing.
