It's free, however the inclusion of the events in the calendars is up to the discretion of the calendar team.

Events should be open to the general public, and not be invitation or members only types of events. Items promoting strictly for-profit events also won’t be approved.

Calendar items need to be approved by the calendar team before they appear publicly. The event will typically be approved within 24 hours since the calendar team is approving calendar items throughout each business day. In order to be considered for printed calendars, please submit your event at least 14 days in advance.
