How we rank popularity

We rank by Google review count rather than guesswork. Review volume is the closest public proxy for real attendance and word-of-mouth — the events locals and visitors actually turn out for. Star ratings (shown alongside) measure how much people enjoyed them; the two together give an honest picture most directories can't.
