Add to calendarStumblday's 66 hand-checked picks for Oct 9–12: shows and free concerts this weekend, prices checked.
This list is the weekend's slice of the hand-checked board with prices verified per show — free means free, ticketed shows carry the real cost, and sold-out or resale-only is labeled instead of hidden. It leads with what is distinct to the weekend: one-off bills, final nights, and the outdoor series that only exist a few months a year.
This list covers the weekend of Oct 9–12, 2026, and it refreshes automatically every week.
Yes — the free outdoor series (parks stages, piers, plazas) are genuinely unticketed, though a few use RSVPs for capacity, and the event page says so. Prices on ticketed shows are verified against the box office or ticketer.
Sold-out shows stay listed but labeled, including face value versus resale-only — a show you cannot buy at any price is different from one you can still get into, and the label says which you are looking at.
