How Do I Add An Event to the Macaroni Kid Event Calendar?

May 17, 2016
Do you work or volunteer for a local business, recreation department or community organization that holds family-friendly events?  Do you wonder why your events aren't appearing in our event calendar?  We can't list them if we don't know about them!  We can help spread the word about your event to thousands of Macaroni Kid readers.

All you need to do is fill out our Submit an Event form or email us information about your event (include a PDF or JPG flyer) at least 3 weeks before the event. We'll take it from there!




Be sure to add our email address (jamiet@macaronikid.com and carolynb@macaronikid.com) to your Media/PR distribution list for future events. 

There are some requirements for the events that we will list:
  • They must be open to the public
  • They must be family-friendly.  Teen events are great too!
  • In general, we list events that are free or low-cost (less than $15 per person) to keep our event list affordable for local families. But, if you're offering a very special event at a higher cost, go ahead and submit it!
  • The event must be located in Lakewood or Littleton (in some cases, very close by)
  • We do not list multi-week classes or vacation camps in the event calendar. Please email jamiet@macaronikid.com to talk about ways to promote your camps, classes and premium events.

If you would like additional exposure for your event, classes, camps, or business, we offer the following paid options:
  • "Pick of the Week" events
  • Sidebar and leaderboard advertising for as little as 1 week. Longer terms receive discounts.
  • Direct sponsored email
  • Feature article
  • Social media
Email jamiet@macaronikid.com for pricing and information or visit our Media Page.
