Event Page

Event pages allow you to post City of Boston events that will show up on the City’s events listing page, and can be pulled into Event Components on other pages.

Best Practices

• Include all relevant information such as time, date, location, cost, contact information, and additional documents.

• For an event to appear on Boston.gov, it needs to be in some way affiliated with the City (this includes having a department as a partner or sponsor). If you are unclear about if your event meets this qualification, please reach out to [email protected]

Keep in Mind

• For events with a regular reoccurrence (events that happen at the same time each week) you have the option of creating a single event that automatically populates weekly. This can be done in the “Event Information Tab” under the “Event Date” drop down menu. We plan to add a walkthrough of how to use this feature in the near future.

• In addition to appearing on the City of Boston events listing page, you can use the "Related Content” tab to specify individual pages that you would like this event to appear on. For the event to appear, the specified page must already have an Events and Notices Component.

Good to Know

You may notice that when you edit an existing event that the event disappears from all event sections of Boston.gov. DON'T PANIC! The system will automatically remove the event until it is republished to prevent users from potentially seeing incorrect and outdated information.
