  3. 3

An event is a community happening with a date and a place — a council meeting, a concert, a fundraiser, a league game. Events are community content: always free for anyone to read.

The path

Open the event form, describe the event, and set its date, time, and location. Published events appear in your community's feed where locals will actually see them.

Events you post live in My Content, where you can edit or update them if details change.
