About the Hoopla calendar

The Hoopla calendar is an opportunity to raise awareness about upcoming community events happening in Eastern Iowa.

Every week, The Gazette will select a few upcoming events (as space allows) to be featured in other publications such as the PennySaver and The Gazette's things to do. Selection of featured events varies throughout the year based on seasonal interest, and listings available as space allows and is at our features editorial discretion. In addition, your event may be showcased on the homepage of thegazette.com in our local events feature.

Want to send a press release to the newsroom? Please see our Press Release Guidelines.
