Welcome to In The Hills’ updated events calendar, part of our new responsive website design. What this means: Online readers can now read your listings as clearly on their smartphone as they can at their desktop computer. As always community, arts and nonprofit events entered here may be eligible to appear in our quarterly print edition of the magazine. Here are some FAQs on what’s changed and what hasn’t.

How do I know I’ve entered it correctly?
Your event will likely be posted within a day. Please go check the calendar to see that it’s correct.
Classes and Workshops
We currently list free community, arts and nonprofit events, but not privately run classes unless they are free or have a charitable component.
If your event doesn’t fall under these categories, please share your info with associate editor Tralee Pearce to consider for our Field Notes column in the magazine – which sometimes includes information about local classes, or other related content.
