Common Questions

Is it really free to submit my event?

Yes. Single-day events are completely free to submit and publish instantly. Multi-day events run across multiple dates, so they require a Featured listing (from $29/month).

How is Featured pricing calculated?

Simple math: $29 per month for however long your event runs as Featured - from today through your event’s last day. Here’s what that means in real life:

  • Ends within 1 month? You pay $29 - one time, that’s it.
  • Ends in about 1.5 months? That counts as 2 months, so $58.
  • Ends in about 3 months? That's $87.
  • Multi-day event? Same rule, counted to its final date.

One payment up front. No monthly bills.

When does my Featured promotion start?

Right away. The moment you submit your event, it’s promoted immediately — pinned to the top of the events calendar on our website and shown as Featured in the Raleigh Parent iOS and Android mobile apps. No waiting, no manual processing.

How fast will my event appear?

Immediately. Your event goes live on our free events calendar the moment you hit submit — no approval queue, no waiting.

Do I need an account to submit?

No. Just fill in the form with your event details and a contact email. There’s nothing to sign up for.

What is a Featured event listing?

A Featured listing is a paid promotion (from $29/month) that pins your event to the top of the events calendar and gives it extra placement across our website and the Raleigh Parent iOS and Android apps — helping more families find your event.
