Adding set-times (microevents)

A big festival is really a bunch of smaller moments stacked together. The headliner at 9pm, the food-truck row that opens at noon, the sunrise yoga session, the panel talk in the side tent. In Festurah, those smaller moments are called microevents.

What is a microevent?

A microevent is a set-time or sub-event that lives inside a larger event. Think of the main event as the whole festival and microevents as the individual things happening within it. A specific band's set time is a classic example, but a microevent can be any scheduled piece of the bigger picture.

Why they are handy

Microevents turn a vague "three-day festival" into a plan you can actually follow:

• Build out a lineup so you know who plays when.
• Map out your day around the acts and activities you care about.
• Avoid the double-booked feeling of two things you want at the same time.
• Share a clearer sense of what the event includes with anyone traveling with you.

Adding one

You need to be signed in to add microevents. Accounts are free and optional, and sign-in is handled through Google, so there is no password to create or remember.

Once you are signed in, open the event you want to flesh out and add a microevent to it. Give it the details that matter, like what it is and when it happens, and it becomes part of that event's schedule.

You can add as many microevents as an event needs. The more you add, the more useful that event's schedule becomes, both for you and for other travelers passing through.

If you spot an event that is missing its set-times, adding them is a small thing that makes the whole listing better for everyone.
