Make Your Next Event A Success By Posting It On Patch

Planning a local event? Now you can share it easily with more people than ever by posting it on Patch.

Getting the word out about an upcoming event isn't always easy. Advertising on your own around town takes a ton of extra energy, and who has time for that when you're busy planning?

Let us help get your next local event the love it deserves.

Instead of posting a flyer on every street corner, now you can post an event once on Patch and share it with up to 15 towns in your area. Not only will it be seen by thousands, but it'll also pop up in Google search so even more people can find it. Pretty sweet, right?


Here's how to post an event on Patch:


  1. Create an account or sign in to Patch.
  2. Once you're signed in, create an event. Make sure all fields are filled out; you can't edit past events, so check that your information is correct before you press publish.
  3. Select the Patch towns where you'd like to share your event.
  4. Post your event and get ready for RSVPs!

Want to get extra eyeballs on your event? Any Patch user can pay to feature an event to get it seen by more people in your area. Featured local events are highlighted in our daily newsletters, local calendars, articles and also on your local Patch homepage the week before your shindig is set to take place.

For $20 per additional Patch, you can also feature your event with more than just your hometown and reach thousands of neighbors in nearby towns.

Heads up: If you are posting on behalf of a business, you must feature your event. It's $50 per Patch for businesses to feature events.
