Our story · Community, in person.

A community built around showing up.

WKND gives local businesses and organizers a place to connect, while eventgoers browse gatherings near them.

How WKND beganTwo vendors wanted local businesses to find their people.

We’re Brian and Kris. Before WKND, we were corporate professionals. Then we became vendors ourselves—and saw how much heart goes into every small business, and how much better the experience could be when vendors have a community behind them.

We started WKND more than five years ago to help that community grow and thrive through a dedicated, safety-minded platform. What began with our own experience as vendors is about something bigger: helping local businesses, organizers, friends, and neighbors find each other.

Technology is how we help. Getting people together in real life is why we’re here.
