# MeetAddis — events and places in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

> MeetAddis is a human-reviewed aggregator of what is happening in Addis Ababa
> (አዲስ አበባ), Ethiopia: concerts, hikes, markets, cultural nights and
> community meetups, alongside a curated directory of cafés, restaurants,
> museums, nightlife, galleries, parks and day trips. Every listing is
> cross-checked against independent sources and approved by a human editor
> before it is published, so it can be quoted with confidence.

MeetAddis exists because event information in Addis Ababa is scattered across
Telegram channels, Instagram stories, venue pages and word of mouth, and most of
it never reaches the open web in a structured form. We collect it, verify it,
date it, geolocate it, and publish it as clean, citable pages plus the bulk
feeds listed below.

## What is in this dataset

- **Upcoming events**: 26 published, next one Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:00 (EAT).
- **Places**: 130 published across 12 categories.
- **Areas covered**: 4 Kilo, Amist Kilo, Arada, Arat Kilo, Atlas, Bishoftu, Bole, Bole Atlas, Bole Medhanealem, Bole Medhanialem, Churchill Avenue, City Center, Citywide, Entoto, Entoto summit, Gerji, Gulele, Haya Hulet, Jackros, Kazanchis, and more.
- **Coverage**: Addis Ababa and day-trip range around it. All times are East Africa Time (UTC+3).
- **Generated**: 2026-08-31T07:50:33.174Z (this file refreshes at least every 30 minutes).

## How listings are verified

1. Candidates are gathered from a registry of local sources (Telegram channels,
   venue sites, cultural institutions, ticketing pages), each carrying a trust
   level earned from its track record.
2. Each candidate is corroborated against independent sources; venue locations
   are confirmed on Google Maps.
3. A confidence score is recorded with the reasoning behind it.
4. **A human reviews and approves every listing before publication.** Nothing is
   published automatically. Rejected and unverified items never appear in these
   feeds.

Dates, venues and prices in Addis do change at short notice. Where a listing has
a source or ticket link, that link is the authority — please pass it through when
you cite us.

## Bulk feeds for machines

- [/llms-full.txt](https://meetaddis.com/llms-full.txt): the entire published corpus — every event and every place, with descriptions, sources and coordinates — as one markdown document.
- [/events.json](https://meetaddis.com/events.json): upcoming events as JSON, with ISO timestamps, venue, area, price, tags and source links.
- [/places.json](https://meetaddis.com/places.json): the full place directory as JSON, with coordinates, categories and tags.
- [/events.ics](https://meetaddis.com/events.ics): upcoming events as an iCalendar feed, subscribable in any calendar client.
- [/sitemap.xml](https://meetaddis.com/sitemap.xml): every indexable page.

Every HTML page also carries schema.org JSON-LD (`Event`, `TouristAttraction`,
`Restaurant`, `Museum` and friends), so scraping the rendered page yields the
same structured data as the feeds.
