We just upgraded our community calendar to make adding an event much easier. Check out the new calendar and add your events!
For years, Cabin Radio’s events calendar has been a one-stop shop for what’s happening around Yellowknife and across the NWT.
The calendar relies on residents adding their events.
Up till now, the form to add an event could be fiddly and felt cluttered. We just simplified the form in a big way and gave it some extra power.
Head to the submit event page to see what we mean. Here are three tips for using the calendar:

1. Add a poster, watch us do the work
If your event already has a poster, drop it into the “add poster” box near the top. The page will automatically work out the event details from that poster, filling out the rest of the form on your behalf.
You just need to double-check the page got it right, make any tweaks you like, and hit submit.
2. Add an event using a screenshot
If you don’t have a poster but you do have a Facebook event or an email with the details, you can take a screenshot (or even take a photo with your phone) and drop it in.
Our calendar will figure out the details from your image, then you can make any changes you like before hitting submit.

Of course, you can always simply write the details in yourself! We’ve made that process easier, with fewer boxes to fill out.
3. Set reminders in the Cabin Radio app
The new Cabin Radio app puts the full events calendar on your phone and allows you to get reminders.
If there are things you don’t want to miss, get reminded up to a day before they happen. Just tap an event in the app and select “remind me.”
Get the app for iPhone or for Android.
Note: Every event in the calendar is manually checked by our team. That means you can rely on the information when you browse the calendar, and you can rely on us to make sure your event looks right when you submit one. Expect a short delay between submitting an event and us publishing it. We’ll send you a note when your event is published.
Lastly, we have a special page for holiday craft fairs across Yellowknife and the NWT. Be sure not to miss that one.
