Events in Pune

Looking for things to do in Pune this weekend? Check District and BookMyShow for gigs, comedy and plays, Luma and Meetup for tech and hobby meetups, then add Pune's low-cost regulars: the PMC heritage walk through the old peths, a morning on Vetal Tekdi, and film screenings around Law College Road. This is a guide to where to look, not a live listing.

Find events in Pune through discovery apps and local listings, then filter by date and interest. The harder question, and the one almost no platform answers, is who you will actually meet when you get there.
