Your community events get seen on Mohawk Valley Today

Each day, thousands of folks living in and around the valley visit Mohawk Valley Today looking for your community events. It’s true. Some of the most visited pages on our site feature events sent to us from communities like yours. We get events sent to us from your libraries, towns, villages, historical societies, museums and county offices. Once we receive events, we do everything we can to highlight them so neighboring towns and villages know that something great is happening in your community. 

This is why we created the Community Events Program on Mohawk Valley Today. Friends and neighbors want to find out about community events, festivals and fairs, and we want to help.

Mohawk Valley Today’s free community calendar

Our free community calendar is available to communities, nonprofit organizations, municipalities and farms to let friends in our neighborhoods, as well as neighboring towns and villages, know about your celebrations and fundraisers, historical events and seasonal programs.

What to do next? 

We’ve made it easy to share your community, nonprofit or organization information and to be posted to the Community Events Calendar. Simply fill out our form and hit submit to send us your upcoming event. It’s quick and super easy!

• Use our contact form to send us your events. Folks that use our contact form to send us events get priority. This is because we have created this form specifically to make it easy to convert your event submission into an event page.
• Send us your event details at least a week in advance. Due to the high volume, same-day or next-day submissions may not get posted.
• Be sure to include photos or links to photos. Photos are an important feature for all events—they show folks what to expect and make things fun! At least one photo is needed for each event posted. Have a link to a short video of your event? Great! Send the link to us and we can include it on your event page!
• Tell us A LOT about your event! Events that include more information, like the WHY behind the event, are viewed and shared the most. The more information we have, the better we can share it on our website and social media!

What do you get?

People in and around the Mohawk Valley really do want to know about the events you have planned! So after you send us your events information, here is what you’ll get:

• Your event added to the Events Calendar – at no cost for FREE. Events are published on pages throughout Mohawk Valley Today for maximum exposure.
• If your event is happening during the week, typically Monday through Friday, then your event will also show up on the Events This Week Page.
• If your event comes up on a weekend, in addition to adding your event to the events calendar, your event will automatically be included on the Featured Weekend Events Page. This is one of the most viewed pages on our website! Also, our social media will help get even more exposure for your event!
• Did you send us a press release along with your event information? If you do, then we will post your press release as an article on the Mohawk Valley Today leading up to your event.
