Submit An Event

Interested in submitting an event to our calendar? Here’s how.

Print Edition Calendar:

Submitting your event information early will give you the best chance of being included in our calendar of events. The submission deadline for our print edition is the 10th of the month preceding the event. If your event is submitted after the print edition deadline, it may be included in our online calendar or other digital coverage.

Our calendar is designed to highlight family-friendly events that are accessible to the community. We prioritize events that are free or low-cost, hosted by our advertisers, or provide enriching experiences such as theater performances, sporting events, festivals, and fairs. While we aim to include a variety of activities, we generally do not list regularly scheduled, fee-based offerings that are part of a business’s operations, such as paid classes or sessions. Exceptions may be made for events that are free or offered at a very low cost. If you’re unsure whether your event qualifies, please don’t hesitate to reach out for clarification.

We work hard on our calendar of events, but space is limited. Submission of your event does not guarantee your event will be published. The only way to guarantee your event will be listed is to purchase a display ad.

Tips For Preparing Your Calendar Items

The following guidelines will give you the best chance of having your event published in our calendar:

  2. Include the date, time, location with address, and contact number.
  3. Include any costs or fees, and if preregistration is required. Specify age groups if necessary.
