The official Coronation website has gathered these events on an interactive map, allowing revellers to find their nearest get-together.
Locals are also encouraged to take part in the Big Lunch, taking place from Saturday, May 6 until Monday, May 8, which will see people come together for a celebratory meal. From street parties to lunches and picnics to BBQs, neighbourhoods can organise gatherings which you can see on this map.
The Big Help Out is on the Bank Holiday Monday, April 8, and encourages locals to volunteer, such as litter picking, open days and assisting in charity shops across the country.
First Minister Humza Yousaf said: "I will be attending the Coronation on 6 May, and there will be ample opportunities for people across Scotland who wish to mark this historic occasion, to do so.”
