Methodology and reuse
Included: published 2026 event records in the What's Hitchin' directory. A multi-day listing counts once.
Verification: a listing is counted as verification ready when it has a recorded verification date and is not graded unverified. This report currently counts 745 of 745 records that way.
Map coverage: 736 events in 123 communities matched the bundled 2025 U.S. Census place coordinates. Unmatched rural descriptions remain in the totals and download.
Limitations: this is a maintained directory inventory, not a claim that every private jackpot or late-announced event has been captured. Corrections and additional official dates are welcome.
