To submit a community event for free to our online and print calendars, go to myleaderpaper.com/local-events and scroll to find a blue button labeled “Create an event” and click on it. Submit the form, and your event will start appearing in the online calendar and will be reviewed by our team for the print calendar. Our online calendar system gives you the option to pay a fee to have the event listed in additional calendars and highlighted on the Leader’s online calendar. Events that occur weekly are listed on a space-available basis. Only nonprofit events that are open to the public are eligible. For a complete listing, see myleaderpaper.com.
