Not all will be promoted in any area.

Join a group that tracks them.

They need the "Discount: ≥0%" slider to go 100%.

Hell let loose being on a free weekend is displayed among the current highlighted sales on the main store page for me so maybe you were looking before it refreshed.

This is a very good tip. I think I found an even better way, though.

On SteamDB[steamdb.info] select "Free Promotions[steamdb.info]" from the menu (on desktop, hover the mouse at the top of the page to make it appear). This will take you to https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/, which lists both free-for-a-limited-time and free-to-keep games grouped by current and upcoming promotions. The start and end of each promotion is listed, and you can click the link or hover the mouse over the text to get the exact date and time.
