About Us

LoKo was built from a simple idea:

People should know what’s happening in their own backyard.

We created LoKo to help locals and visitors discover the places, events, businesses and experiences that make a community unique. From Local finds cafes and weekend markets to family adventures, local events and unforgettable experiences, LoKo brings everything together in one place.

By helping people discover more, we’re helping communities grow stronger. Every visit, every event attended and every local business discovered helps support the people who make our cities worth exploring.

In a world where we’re spending more time scrolling, LoKo exists to help people get back out there, connect with their community, support local businesses and create real experiences with family and friends.

Get out. Explore more. Go LoKo.
