Events may be determined based on an image and context data associated with the image. An event type associated with the image may be determined based on a concept of the image. A list of events may be retrieved from an event database based on the context data. The retrieved list of events may then be ranked based on the determined event type and the context data. Through this event determination, a user may obtain information of one or more events happening at a specific location simply by capturing an image of that specific location, thereby saving the user from searching and browsing the Internet or brochure to locate the information of the one or more events at the specific location.
