How To List Your Upcoming Event On Patch

Are you hosting an upcoming event in your community? Want the whole town to know about your fundraiser, religious event, theater production or yard sale? Patch's local calendars can help you spread the word.

Not only is it super easy to share exciting events with your neighbors, it's also free! All you have to do is create your account and get posting, free of charge.

Here's how to get started:

1. Sign up. If you haven't already, sign up for a free Patch account. Add in your town name or zip code and your email address, then enter a password. Once your account is created, you will be able to post events on your local calendar and get taken straight to your local news feed when you visit Patch.com.

2. Start posting your events! Click here to get started, or click on the box at the top of any Patch page. Make sure you click on the "Event" tab.

3. Fill out your event post. Enter in the important information about your event, including the date, time and location of your event, along with a title and description of what exactly your event entails. You can also add an image for your event by clicking "Add image" at the bottom right. After you add your image, click on the green "Next" button.

4. Promote your event. If you want to give your event more prominence on Patch pages and emails, and share with nearby communities, you can promote your event for just $1 per day per community. Just check the box that says "Promote and share with nearby communities," and you will be able to select the extra towns you'd like to share the event in.

If you don't want to do this, it's still totally free to list your event on your local Patch calendar.

5. Set your event live. Click on the green "Post" button at the bottom right — and voila! Your community event is live for neighbors to see.
