1. Create a Patch account and sign up to post your own local content on Patch, totally free. It’s probably the easiest thing you’ll do all day.
2. Make a Calendar Event and fill it with all the awesome info that people need to add it to their list of things to do in their neighborhood. Choose a fun image to upload and most importantly – have fun with it! It’s your event, and the possibilities are endless.
3. Post it on Patch! That’s it. Get ready for RSVPs.

You can post your event for free to a single Patch, or if you really want to get the community’s attention, you can feature your event for $2 per Patch per day.
