Events are time-limited activities that happen at places within a community. They appear on the map and in your community's event calendar, making it easy for visitors to discover what's on.

  1. Create a free account and sign in

    You need a Places account to add events. If you don't have one yet, create a free account. Already signed in? Proceed to step 2.

  2. Make sure you belong to a community

    Events are added to a community map. You can add events if you are the owner, a moderator, or an editor of a community. If you're not part of one yet, learn how to join a community.

  3. Go to your community map

    Browse communities and open the one you want to add an event to. Make sure you are signed in as the owner, moderator, or editor.

  5. Alternatively, create an event from a place

    If the venue is already on your community map, click on the place and then click the Create Event button in the place panel. This links the event directly to that place.

  6. Choose how to add the event

    There are four ways to create an event: fill in the details manually, import from Facebook, import from any event URL, or let AI extract information from an event image.

  8. Import from a URL (optional)

    Paste the URL of any event page. Places will attempt to extract the event details automatically, including the title, date, time, description, and images.

  9. Fill in the event details

    You can mark the event as recurring if it repeats on a schedule, and indicate whether it is free or requires registration. If you're not the organizer, uncheck yourself as host and enter the organizer's name. You can always edit the event information later.
