At the top of your timeline, you will see a "Happening now" label that will show you all the events and current topics you might be interested in.

Meanwhile, each event will have a little downward facing arrow in the top right corner. Tap on it if you want to see why Twitter thinks you are interested in it or to hide it from your timeline.
This feature is only available to Android and iOS devices.
