What is LocalCalendar?

LocalCalendar is an AI-powered events calendar for news publishers. It finds local events in your coverage area, cleans and sorts them, and publishes them on your website every day, so your calendar stays full without anyone copying and pasting listings.

How it works

1) Tell us your region and send us your branding.

2) We connect the calendar to trusted local event sources for your area.

3) AI cleans each event (title, date, time, venue, link and description) and sorts it into a category.

4) New events are added daily, changed events are updated, and past events drop off automatically.

Most publishers are live within about a week.

What's included

• AI event discovery and daily updates for your coverage area.
• A calendar you can add to any WordPress page with a shortcode. See How to add the calendar to your website.
• Events stored as normal WordPress content, so your team can edit, add or remove any event.
• Reader event submissions, with optional paid Featured and Recurring upgrades through Stripe.
• Featured events pinned to the top of the calendar for sponsors and house promotions.
• "Remind Me" emails that can also add readers to your Leaky Paywall list.
• Import of your existing calendar or spreadsheet events, and CSV export.
• Hosting, monitoring, updates and email support.
