Diego's new project: Freeyo, free things to do near you.
Hi, it's Diego. For 20 years, my life has been espadrilles: sewing them, documenting them, sharing their story with you here.
But for the past 15 years, I've carried another dream. I always felt that most free things to do are buried online. A library calendar here, a city page there, a festival nobody hears about until it's over. And with everything getting more expensive, I kept thinking: finding what's free is one of the best ways to fight inflation.
So these past weeks, I sat down and finally built it. It's called Freeyo, and it's my gift to you.
What Freeyo is
Freeyo is a map of free things to do. It brings together library programs, park activities, festivals, free museum days, skating rinks, splash pads, talks, markets and holiday events. Everything on it is free to attend and in person.
And Freeyo itself is 100% free. No account, no fees, no catch. Anyone can open it, look at their city, and see what's happening today, tomorrow or this weekend.
It started with free things to do in Montreal and now covers cities across Canada and the United States, in English and en français. New events are added every week.
Have something free to share? A yoga class in the park, a community concert, a book swap? Posting on Freeyo is free too.

Fifteen years of dreaming, a few weeks of building, and here it is. I hope it helps you find something wonderful to do, for free.
