Introducing Our New Gaston County Events Calendar!

We’re excited to announce our new events calendar  — designed to make it easier for visitors to discover everything happening across Gaston County.

We’re proud to share that over 200 partners are already featured, and the calendar now includes nearly 4,000 events! From festivals and live music to exhibit openings, trivia nights, and family-friendly activities, visitors can now explore it all in one place — making it easier to plan their trip and spend more time in our destination.

How Partners Can Have Events Included

To ensure your events appear on the GoGastonNC calendar, please make sure they are published on one of the following platforms:

1. Facebook Event

   • Your event must be created using Facebook’s Events feature — not a regular post.

   • Posts will not be picked up.
     

2. Eventbrite

   • Create your event on Eventbrite with complete event details.
     

3. Your Website’s Event Calendar

   • Post your event on a dedicated calendar page on your website.

Our team pulls events directly from these sources, so keeping your events updated on one of these platforms is the best way to stay visible.

For best results, please make sure each event includes all key details, including the event name, date, time, location, and a clear description. Events with complete information are more likely to appear accurately and help visitors quickly understand what to expect and plan their visit.

One-Time Event Submissions (Non-Partners)

Not a partner but have an event open to the public? You can still be included.

Submit your event through the Submit an Event tab on our event calendar, and our team will review it for inclusion.

Check Your Listing

We encourage all partners to review your listing to make sure your events are showing.

If you don’t see your events, please email travelguide@gogastonnc.org.

We’re excited about the opportunities this new calendar brings to showcase everything happening across Gaston County — and to help connect visitors with your events in a more meaningful way.
