Adding your event is easy and free!
Send a short paragraph describing your event to calendar@oldcity.com. Make sure to include all of the following:
- Date(s) – Include not only the date of the event, but the deadline to make reservations, purchase tickets or register.
- Time(s) – List the time the event starts and if applicable, the end time of the event as well. For some events, it’s helpful to list the time the doors open as well as the time when the program actually begins.
- Location – Provide information on where the event will be held and if necessary, what kind of parking is available for the event.
- Cost – Let people know what tickets will cost in advance, at the door, for different age groups, etc. If the event is free, include that, too!
- Event description – Give a brief description of your event. Be sure to mention if the event is family friendly, outdoors/indoors, etc.
- Contact information – This can be a website URL for the event or contact information where people can purchase tickets, get more information, etc.
To ensure that your event makes it onto the calendar in time, please send it no less than one week prior to the event itself (two or three weeks in advance is usually best). We also recommend sending your information in the body of the e-mail instead of an attachment.
Bonus: Twitter and OldCity.com Blog Promotions
In addition to be listed on the OldCity.com calendar, your event might also be included in our Weekend Update Blog and on our @OldCity Twitterfeed, which is followed by over 1,000 people.All of these features are completely free as our way of showing support for the St. Augustine community.
