Listings in the Valley Calendar — both online at calendar.vnews.com and in the Valley News print edition — are provided without charge as a service to our readers. When making a submission, please disregard options to pay to promote events. On the promotion page, scroll down and select the free-listing option.
A CitySpark account is required for listing an event in the Calendar. It is possible to use a Gmail or Facebook account to log in to CitySpark. If you encounter any technical difficulties, please email [email protected] or call 603-727-3221.
The Calendar is primarily for nonprofit organizations to list events. Businesses may list events only if they serve as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization or if they are free, open to the public and are not for the purpose of promoting the business. Decisions about whether to include an event submitted by a business are made at the discretion of Valley News editors.
Entries must be submitted at least five business days prior to when the event takes place. All listings are subject to editing. While we try to list each event 3-to-5 days in the print version of the Calendar, we are subject to space constraints. Events may appear online for longer.
All links included in the print edition must be short, including those to Zoom. If the link cannot be shortened, please provide a shorter web address where attendees can find the longer link.
All entries must include a street address or another identifying location.
Some tips to keep in mind when filling out a listing:
⬛ The print description field, which is capped at 200 characters, is only a description of the event. Information, such as the title, date and location of the event does not need to be included in the print description field.
⬛ If an event is free, but requires admission to the venue, please include the venue admission cost in the listing.
⬛ If admission to an event is “by donation,” select “paid event” and include the suggested donation in the “price range” field. If admission is free, but donations will be collected during an event, select “free” and write “donations welcome” in the “price description” field.
⬛ Please provide a phone number and/or email address for an organizer who can be easily contacted for more information.
⬛ Be aware of selecting “a.m.” or “p.m.” when adding the time of the event.
⬛ If you are submitting a class or workshop that has multiple dates, please include the first day under the “Date” category and all subsequent days in the description fields.
⬛ Photographs with caption and credit information may be sent by email as high-resolution.jpg attachments to [email protected] for possible inclusion in a print edition of the Valley News.
