Bonfire - Discover Local Events

In closed beta at IIT Roorkee and JECRC Foundation

A calm place to discover, join and host meaningful events near you, without the clutter, noise or pressure of a feed.

200+ users and 9K+ page views in beta

See what’s on near you as a list, or switch to the map. Communities you follow come first.

Every event shows where, when and who’s hosting. Join in one tap, or ask for a spot at private events.

Describe your event in a sentence and the form fills itself. Review the draft, then publish.

Clarity: Events are shown plainly, with no feed built to keep you scrolling. What you see is what matters.
Access: Public, private or invite‑only. Every gathering grows with purpose, not by going viral.
Ownership: Your community gets a home that feels like yours, not rented space inside someone else’s platform.

Give your community a home. Plan events, decide who comes, and keep people coming back.

A page for your community: Upcoming and past events, a calendar, and links to your group chat and socials.
Followers become members: Following a community makes someone a member. Admins and moderators share the running of it.
Events from your members: Let members suggest events. Moderators review them before they go live.
You decide who comes: Make an event public, private, approval‑only, or open to invite links.
Waitlists that fill themselves: When someone drops out, the next person on the waitlist gets their spot.
Smooth at the door: Check people in with a QR code and export the attendee list.
Online and hybrid events: Sign in with Google and Bonfire can create the Meet link for you.
Start from a sentence: Describe your event in plain words and get a draft to review and publish.

Create events, bring people together, and build communities that actually show up.
