Share something happening in the community

We welcome information from residents, event organizers, churches, schools, local businesses, nonprofits, and community groups. Tell us what is happening, who it is for, and where people can find the details. A short, specific description and an official link are more useful than a promotional slogan.

Ideas include festivals and markets, concerts, church gatherings, school activities, public meetings, outdoor events, and fundraisers. We also welcome business openings, changes to a public-facing service, historical programs, and other local announcements. You do not need to write a finished article; start with the information someone would need to understand the news or plan a visit.

What to include for an event

Put the essential details in your message, even if they also appear on a flyer. That makes dates, addresses, and spelling easier to check. Include the year and any separate dates or sessions so a recurring event is not confused with another edition.

• The event name, organizer, and a brief description of what visitors can expect.
• The full date, start and end times, and any different hours for individual days.
• The venue name and street address, including the town.
• Admission, ticket, or registration requirements, and the official booking link, if available.
• An official website or public organizer announcement, plus useful parking, age, or access information.
• Your name and a contact email for questions. Identify any contact details specifically intended for the public listing.

For a fundraiser, say which organization or purpose it benefits and link to the organizer’s explanation. For a recurring gathering, tell us the dates you are submitting rather than assuming the same schedule continues indefinitely. Send information before the event whenever possible to allow time for review.

Business news and community announcements

For a business opening or service update, include the public business name, address, what is changing, and when the change takes effect. Add the official website or announcement and tell us your connection to the business or organization. For a public meeting, include the sponsoring body, meeting location, date, time, and an agenda link when available.

If you are sharing a road closure or access change, include the affected road or place, the dates stated in the notice, and a link to the responsible agency or property manager. This submission page is for information to review for publication, so use the responsible agency’s own channels for an urgent report or a time-sensitive question.

Photographs, flyers, and local history

If a flyer or photograph is available, include a public link to it and tell us who created it. Please share material you own or have permission to provide, and identify the photographer or preferred credit. A flyer can support an event submission, but the event details should still be written in the message.

For an old photograph or historical lead, include what you know about the people, place, approximate date, and source. Explain which details are documented and which come from memory or a family story. If the identification is uncertain, say so; an honest starting point is more useful than a date or name supplied as a guess.

Updates, corrections, and cancellations

If a published event changes or is canceled, send the Contact form the article or calendar link, the event name and date, and the corrected information. Include an organizer announcement when available. For a factual correction to another article, identify the passage and share the source that supports the change.

Looking for something already listed? Browse Events & Festivals for the calendar and event guides, or explore all articles for other local coverage. Checking the existing listing first also makes it easier to point us to the right entry when something needs updating.

How submissions are handled

Submissions are reviewed before publication, and sending information does not guarantee a listing or article. Please include enough detail and a reliable source to help us check the information. If there is something in your message that is background only, identify it clearly and distinguish it from the information you want readers to see.

Keep the message focused on the announcement and avoid including sensitive personal information. For information about the website’s data practices, read the Privacy Policy. When your details are ready, open the Contact form to send them.
