Creating an Event Link

Every event we publish needs a link that lets families see the date, time, location, and description. Don’t have a website page for your event? Here’s how to create one — and how to make sure it works before you submit.

CREATE YOUR LINK

Wherever you have the choice, build your event on your business or organization’s account — not an individual’s personal one. Business accounts reach a wider audience, let more than one person make updates, and keep the event from disappearing if whoever set it up moves on.

Facebook Event

Easiest and free — recommended for every event.

Create the event from your Facebook Page, not a personal profile, and set it to Public. People without a Facebook account may still not see every detail.

Eventbrite

Best for collecting RSVPs and registrations, and it’s visible to everyone regardless of social media accounts.

Register under your business or organization name so families recognize who’s hosting and teammates can be added later. Free to use if your event is free — if you sell tickets, Eventbrite charges a fee on each one.

Google Calendar

Fastest free option when no website page is available.

Use a shared business or team calendar rather than a personal one, and set the event to public before the link will work for anyone else.

Google Event

Best for maximum visibility — your event appears on Google Search and Maps for local discovery.

Requires a verified Google Business Profile, so this option isn’t available to everyone.

TEST YOUR LINK

Open your event link in a private or incognito browser window. If you can’t see the date, time, location, and description without logging in, we can’t use it.

This is the most common reason a submission gets held up — the link works perfectly for the person who created it, but not for anyone else.

KEEP YOUR ACCESS

Important: Plans change, and posting last-minute updates or cancellation notices is your responsibility. Before you submit, jot down:

  • Platform
    Which tool did you use (e.g., Facebook, Eventbrite)?
  • Account
    Which business account, Page, or profile owns the event?
  • Login
    Where is the login saved (password manager, shared team account)?
  • Event link
    Save the final public link for easy sharing.
