Get Your Events Listed

There are several ways to get community events onto Ridge and River Guide — from a single one-time posting to automatic imports that keep your calendar in sync.

Post a single event

Fastest

No account needed — submit any event in under two minutes.

Use the Add Event form to submit a one-off event directly. Include a title, date, time, location, and a short description, and it will appear on the calendar immediately after review.

Works for any community member, no account required
Events appear on the calendar and map
You can attach a poster image or event link

Request ongoing posting access

Best for organizations

Approved posters can add and manage events anytime without review delays.

Churches, arts organizations, civic groups, parks departments, and other regular event hosts can apply for a trusted poster account. Once approved, your events go live without waiting for moderation.

Post multiple events without re-submitting each time
Edit or update your events after posting
Your organization name appears on every listing

Share a public iCal feed

Best for automatic sync

If your events live in Google Calendar, Eventbrite, or another service, we can import them automatically.

Many event platforms publish a public .ics feed URL. Once you share that link with us, we can add it as a source and your events will be imported automatically whenever you update them.

How to get your public iCal link:

1Create your events in one of the services below
2Find the "Public calendar" or "Subscribe" link — it ends in .ics
3Send us the link via the Request Access form and we'll add it as a source

Your organization's website

If your site lists events in a structured format, we may be able to add it as a source.

Some websites publish events in formats we can read automatically — RSS feeds, JSON-LD event schemas, or plain structured HTML lists. If your organization runs its own site, reach out and we'll take a look.

WordPress sites with The Events Calendar plugin work well
Sites with a public RSS or Atom feed can often be imported
Google Business profiles with events are sometimes readable

Contact us via the Request Access form with your site URL and we'll check compatibility at no cost.

Facebook Events

Facebook shut down its public Events API in 2018, and its pages require a login to view. This means no tool or service can automatically import Facebook events — including this one. The only workaround is to cross-post your events here directly using the Add Event form above.

If your organization relies on Facebook for event announcements, the easiest path is to also post to a public Google Calendar and share that feed with us — you enter it once and both audiences see it.

Embed our calendar on your own site

For partner sites

Newspapers, chambers of commerce, libraries, and tourism pages can drop a filtered calendar onto their own site with a single snippet.

Configure a city, category, view, and theme, then copy a self-contained iframe snippet. The widget auto-resizes to fit your layout, never asks visitors to log in, and updates automatically as new events land on the calendar.

No accounts, no API keys, free for community use
Light and dark themes, month or list view
Filter by city, category, or specific source

Selling tickets on Eventbrite?

Eventbrite publishes public iCal feeds — your events can sync automatically.

If you use Eventbrite for ticketed events, you already have an importable feed. Find it by going to your Eventbrite organizer page and copying the calendar subscribe link.

1Go to your Eventbrite organizer profile page
2Click "Follow""Add to calendar" → copy the .ics URL
3Share that URL with us via the Request Access form

Not sure which option fits?

Send us a note via the Request Access form and describe how your organization currently shares events. We'll figure out the best path together.
