Video: How to Post an Event on Patch for Free

See how to use Monrovia Patch's free events calendar to spread the word about a community event.

There are things happening all over Monrovia every day and it's impossible for one person to know about all of them. You can help make this site a better representation of what's going on in the community by adding the events you know about to our calendar–for free. Free calendar events are suited for non-business events, such as those that involve local schools and organizations.

If you are promoting a business event, you can contact Regional Publisher David Peck at davidp@patch.com about advertising.

The video above explains how posting a free event works--and it's incredibly easy.

Here's a step-by-step:

  1. Log in to Patch. .
  2. Click on "Events" on the top of the page.
  3. At the bottom of the Events page, click "Add an Event."
  4. Give your event a title.
  5. Choose a date, starting time and end time. If your event repeats, check the box that says, "This event happens more than once or is an ongoing event."
  6. Under "Where," type in an address or the name of a location. If adding an address, include the city so the site knows where to place the event. Once you have a location, click on that location to save it.
  7. Fill out a description for your event. Tell us why we should be there and what to expect at the event.
  8. If you'd like to add photos, videos or a flier, click "Choose files to upload."
  9. Choose a category and fill out any other information, such as who the event is best for, the price, a contact number or email address, website, etc.
  10. Click "Post My Event."
  11. Tell all your friends how easy it was!
