Featured Placement
Free Gets Listed. Paid Gets Found.

Anyone can submit an event to the HERE calendar for free. But free listings get buried. Paid featured placement pins your event to the top — highlighted above every other listing so it’s the first thing readers see when they open the events page.

Featured events are also cross-promoted to our Events Week newsletter — a dedicated email blast that goes out to local subscribers who have specifically opted in to hear about what’s happening in their city. That’s not a banner ad — that’s a warm audience already looking for things to do.

Want more than a listing? Events Section Sponsorship makes your brand the presenting sponsor of the entire events calendar. Your logo appears at the top of every events page, every day — whether your event is running or not.

Featured events are also included in social media roundups shared on HERE’s local channels. Perfect for venues, festivals, nonprofits, restaurants, and entertainment businesses that live and die by turnout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I submit events for free?
Yes — free event submissions are accepted and will appear in the general calendar. However, free listings are sorted chronologically and can get buried below dozens of other events. Paid featured placement pins your event to the top where readers see it first.
How does newsletter promotion work?
The Events Week newsletter is a dedicated email sent to local subscribers who have opted in to receive event roundups. Featured events are included in the newsletter with a short description and direct link. It goes out weekly and reaches readers who are actively looking for things to do in their city.
Can I promote recurring events?
Absolutely. Recurring events — weekly trivia nights, monthly art walks, seasonal festival series — can be set up as recurring featured listings. We can also discuss section sponsorship for businesses that host events regularly, which keeps your brand visible even between event dates.
What’s the difference between a featured listing and section sponsorship?
A featured listing promotes a specific event — it runs for the duration of that event and then expires. Section sponsorship is an ongoing brand presence: your logo appears as the presenting sponsor of the entire events calendar every day of the month, regardless of whether you have an active event running. Section sponsorship is ideal for venues and businesses that want year-round visibility in the events space.
How far in advance should I submit my event?
We recommend submitting at least 5–7 days before your event to allow time for formatting, newsletter scheduling, and social coordination. Rush placements are available for last-minute events — contact us to discuss options.
