How to Add Event Dates

Quick Tip: You can use recurring dates, individual dates, or both together for maximum flexibility! After your event is published, you can edit it at any time to add or remove dates as needed.

1 Single Day Events

For events that happen on a single day, set the From date and time, then the To date and time.

Example: A festival from June 15-17, 2025

From: June 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM
To: June 15, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Leave "Is recurring?" unchecked

2 Recurring Events

For events that repeat on a regular schedule (weekly trivia night, monthly meetings, etc.), first set the start and end date and time for each occurrence, then check the "Is recurring?" checkbox to reveal additional options.

How it works:

Set your date and time: Choose the From date/time and To date/time for each occurrence
Check "Is recurring?" to enable the repeating schedule
Set the interval: Choose how often it repeats (e.g., "every 2 weeks")
Choose the unit: Day(s), Week(s), Month(s), or Year(s)
Set an end date: When should the recurring event stop?

Example: Weekly trivia night every Tuesday from 6-7pm, starting Jan 7 and ending Dec 31, 2025

From: January 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM
To: January 7, 2025 at 7:00 PM (same day for single-day events)
Check "Is recurring?"
Repeat every: 1 Week(s)
Until: December 31, 2025

Example: Monthly meeting every 4 weeks, starting March 1 at 2pm and ending December 1 at 4pm

From: March 1, 2025 at 2:00 PM
To: March 1, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Check "Is recurring?"
Repeat every: 4 Week(s)
Until: December 1, 2025

3 Multiple Individual Dates

Use this option when you need to add several dates separately. This is useful for dates that don't follow a simple recurring pattern, or when consecutive dates have different hours (making it easier than using recurring plus individual date entries). Click the "+ Add a date" button to add each date separately, and be sure to specify the start and end time for each date.

Example: Art show on three different weekends

Date 1: March 8, 2025 at 10:00 AM to March 8, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Date 2: March 22, 2025 at 10:00 AM to March 22, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Date 3: April 5, 2025 at 10:00 AM to April 5, 2025 at 5:00 PM

Click "+ Add a date" twice to create three separate date entries.

4 Combining Recurring + Individual Dates

You can mix and match! Set up a recurring schedule AND add special one-time dates that fall outside the pattern.

Example: Weekly market every Saturday, plus a special holiday market

Date Entry 1 (Recurring):

From: June 7, 2025 at 9:00 AM
To: June 7, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Check "Is recurring?"
Repeat every: 1 Week(s)
Until: September 27, 2025

Date Entry 2 (Special Event):

Click "+ Add a date"
From: December 20, 2025 at 10:00 AM
To: December 20, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Leave "Is recurring?" unchecked

5 Complex Recurring Patterns (e.g., "First Tuesday of Each Month")

For complex recurring patterns like "first Tuesday of each month" or "third Friday of every quarter," the recurring options don't support these specific day-of-week patterns. You'll need to add these dates manually.

Example: Monthly meeting on the first Tuesday of each month

Date 1: January 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM to January 7, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Date 2: February 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM to February 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Date 3: March 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM to March 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Date 4: April 1, 2025 at 6:00 PM to April 1, 2025 at 8:00 PM
...and so on for each month

Note: Since there's no recurring option for "first Tuesday of each month," you'll need to click "+ Add a date" for each occurrence and enter them individually.

💡 Pro Tips

• Always specify both start and end times for each date—they're required!
• For single-day events, set both From and To to the same date (but different times if needed)
• For recurring events, set the date and time first, then check "Is recurring?"
• Complex patterns like "first Tuesday of each month" require manual date entry—add each occurrence individually
• You can remove any date entry by clicking the trash icon
• Add as many individual dates as needed—there's no limit!
• Hover over the info icons throughout the form for quick help

How to Set Your Business Hours

Quick Tip: Set your hours day by day, or use the copy feature to quickly apply the same schedule to multiple days. Your hours will display on your business listing page.

1 Setting Hours for Each Day

Click on any day tab (Monday through Sunday) to set hours for that day. For each day, choose one of the following options:

Enter hours: Add specific time ranges (e.g., 9:00 AM–5:00 PM). Click "Add Hours" to add multiple time ranges for the same day (useful for split shifts or lunch breaks).
Open all day: Select this if your business is open 24 hours on that day.
Closed all day: Select this if your business is closed on that day.
By appointment only: Select this if your business operates by appointment only on that day.

2 Copy Schedule Feature

After setting hours for one day, you can quickly copy that schedule to other days. This is especially useful if you have the same hours Monday through Friday.

Example: Setting weekday hours

Set Monday hours: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
Click "Copy schedule to other days"
Select Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Click "Copy to selected days"

Your Monday hours will now be copied to all selected days.

3 Multiple Time Ranges

If your business has split hours (e.g., open in the morning, closed for lunch, then open again in the afternoon), you can add multiple time ranges for the same day.

Example: Restaurant with lunch break

First time range: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM (lunch service)
Click "Add Hours"
Second time range: 5:00 PM–9:00 PM (dinner service)

Both time ranges will display on your business listing.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use the "Copy schedule" feature to quickly set weekday hours—it saves time!
• You can add multiple time ranges per day for split shifts or different service times
• If you don't want to display hours for a particular day, leave it blank or mark it as "Closed all day"
• You can update your hours at any time by editing your business listing
