Event Calendar Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is there a cost to add an event to the calendar?

Adding your event to the calendar is FREE, ACT is not a membership or fee based organization.

How do I add my event?

To add your event, go to visitaroostook.com/stakeholders-hub, login or create an account, click 'create an event listing', complete and submit the form. It really is that easy.

What information is needed?

In addition to the basic information of what, when, and where, a good description of the event should inform people about what your event is about and excite them to attend. For example: Does your event have live music? If so, provide a description of the type of music the band plays. Does your event have a schedule of activities? If so, make sure to include the full schedule.

Don’t forget to add important information such as links to ticketing, websites for more information, who to contact with questions, etc.

What kind of photos/images are best?

In addition to a strong description, great photos really help draw attention to your event. In general, landscape or horizontally-oriented photos work better for these event calendars than logos or event flyers. We allow you to upload multiple images for maximum impact.

Will my event appear on the calendar immediately after I submit it?

All event submissions need to be reviewed and approved prior to them appearing on the website. This can take up to two business days. If more information is needed our calendar administrators may reach out to you so please keep an eye on your inbox.
