ℹ️ How To Add Things To The Calendar

See something that isn't here, but should be? Here's how to add it:

A Google calendar or ICS feed (best for organizations with lots of events)

A calendar invite (best for recurring events, ad-hoc events)

A Facebook event (invite Kay Wilcox and/or Denver Lindy Cal FB Page, best for ad-hoc events)

This process was developed in collaboration with community organizations. Denver Lindy Cal aims to ensure sustainability and accuracy by working with organizers' existing processes. There's no AI involved.

📊 Data Sources

All calendars were added with organizer permission and collaboration - they are amazing humans who have made this project possible!
