Hosting An Event? Patch Just Made Getting The Word Out Easier

When you’re organizing an event, the real job isn’t creating another listing on the internet. It’s getting the word out so people can find what you’re planning.

Patch creates a public page with the essential information people need: what’s happening, when and where it’s taking place, and how they can participate.

That helps your event get discovered in two important ways.

On Patch, people can find it through their local community calendar, newsletter and other placements.

Beyond Patch, we optimize your public event page to be found through search engines and the AI-powered tools people increasingly use to discover what’s happening nearby.

In other words: post it once and give your event more ways to be found.

Have one event to share?

Add the title, date, time, location, description and an image. Once published, your event will have its own Patch page and appear on the calendar for its primary community.

You can also choose to promote the event for additional visibility in the Patch communities you want to reach.

Have a whole calendar of events?

Patch’s new bulk event uploader is designed for schools, libraries, nonprofits, venues, chambers, local businesses and other organizations that regularly have multiple events to share and promote.

Instead of building every listing from scratch, upload what you already have—flyers, images, PDFs or spreadsheets—or paste links and event information.

Patch will turn that material into individual event drafts. You can review the details, correct anything that needs attention, choose the right Patch communities and set your promotion dates.

You’ll see the complete promotion plan and price before approving payment or publishing anything.

Whether you’re planning one neighborhood fundraiser or an entire season of programs, Patch can help you get the word out—and help more people find what you’re bringing to the community.
