For businesses without a calendar, your subscription includes a simple way for them to publish once and update their website (if they have one), Google Business, and Facebook - while you provide a trusted place to find out what’s happening in your community.
Most calendar tools help you publish. Locable helps you stay current by pulling in updates from the people, organizations, and sources you rely on - making your community calendar easier to keep visible, connected, and up to date with less chasing, less duplication, and less manual work.
Most calendars depend on manual submissions, reminders, and staff follow-up. Locable connects participating businesses, organizations, and partners so local events can flow into your calendar through a shared community network.
Every disconnected calendar asks people to submit the same event again. Locable reduces that friction by helping participating organizations contribute once and distribute event information through your connected local network.
Pull events from participating partners, display them automatically when appropriate, or curate them as needed - so your calendar stays more complete without turning your team into the community’s event-chasing department.
The real value is not just a better calendar. It is a connected system that helps events become easier to contribute, easier to reuse, and easier for residents, visitors, and partners to discover.
Keep events current without chasing submissions.
Locable pulls events from calendars already in use and gives everyone else a simple option - so your calendar stays full and accurate without chasing people down.
For Engage Plans: Your program includes a free Locable network-connected calendar so partners can publish once.
For Main Streets, Chambers, and Tourism orgs: You control what shows up with moderation, categories, and trusted sources.
Can I add this to my existing website?
Yep. There are a couple of integration options - and if you need a website upgrade, we can help with that.
Can you pull events from our existing calendar system?
Yes. If you already have a solid calendar, we can pull from it so you are not adding extra steps or duplicating work.
What if some organizations do not have a calendar at all?
That is common. Your program can give them a simple way to publish once so events do not get lost - and your community calendar stays accurate without constant follow-up.
Can I control what appears on my calendar(s)?
Definitely. You can curate what shows up with moderation and configuration options, including trusted sources and categories.
How do you prevent spam or junk events?
You control participation and what gets displayed. Use trusted sources, moderation, and clear rules so your calendar stays credible.
What happens when details change?
Updates happen without you redoing everything. The goal is staying current as details change across the community - without the chase.
How is this different from other calendar options?
There are many good calendar systems. Locable is built to keep events current with less manual follow-up by pulling from calendars already in use and giving everyone else a simple option to publish once. We can also import events from existing calendars.
Do people have to sign up or have an account to participate?
Yes. Each business or organization needs a Locable account so they can update their own events and participate in the network.
Do businesses have to pay to participate?
In many communities, partners get access as part of the community program. The point is to make participation easy so you are not stuck being the middleman.
What if I want a community calendar and I am not a Main Street, Chamber, or Tourism organization?
You can still lead the charge. Media companies, community foundations, municipalities, economic development groups, and other community anchors often step up to convene partners and create a trusted place to find what is happening. Locable works with one organization and gets better as more partners connect.
