Cultural events: common questions
- Why do some cultural events move dates every year?
- Many follow a traditional or lunar calendar rather than a fixed date, so check the listing for this year's date rather than last year's.
- Is the printed start time exact?
- For traditional programs it can shift. The event page shows the latest time the organiser has shared.
