For Event Organizers
Submit an event
If something is happening in the Mission Valley and the public is invited, it belongs on the calendar. Farmers' markets, fundraisers, gallery openings, school plays, festivals, talks, classes, fairs, races, recurring weekly games.
What we'll list
Three conditions. Meet all three and you're in.
Location
In the valley
Happens inside the Mission Valley (Polson, Pablo, Ronan, St. Ignatius, Charlo, Arlee, Big Arm / Dayton, Ravalli, Dixon), or close enough that valley residents treat it as local.
Specifics
Date, time, place confirmed
Not "next month sometime." A specific date, a specific time, a specific location. Recurring events need the rule (for example, "first Saturday monthly").
Audience
Open to the public
Ticketed or free, but with a way for someone outside the host's circle to attend. We don't list private parties or MLM recruitment events.
CSKT cultural events run with the host's protocol notes when the host asks for them.
What we'll need
The information that makes a useful listing.
