List your events free
For venues, clubs, churches, schools, libraries and community groups in Barrie and across Ontario. Put every event in front of the town, get a page of your own, and show your events on your own website. No fees and no ads, and we never sell your information.
What you get
- An event page for each event with a picture, the date, the place, RSVPs and a calendar file. It looks good when someone shares the link in a message.
- A place in the Barrie events list, the weekend list and the category lists, so people looking for something to do can find you.
- Your own organizer page (for example
https://events.sonatina.ca/o/your-group) that shows your coming events and is easy to share. - A venue page for the place where events are held, made from the events listed there.
- A list for your own website. Paste one line into your web page and your next events show up there and stay current by themselves.
How to start (about five minutes)
- Make a free account and confirm your email address.
- Make an event. Choose “List it in the Barrie events list”. The first public event from a new account is checked by a person (usually the same day); after that your events are listed at once.
- Open Your account and switch on “Public organizer page” to get your own page and the line for your website.
Show our events on your website
Once you have an organizer page or a venue page, open it and look for “Show these events on your own website”. Copy the line of code into the page where you want the list. It is a plain frame with no tracking and no scripts. You can also show everything that is on in Barrie:
<iframe src="https://events.sonatina.ca/embed/events" title="Upcoming events in Barrie" width="100%" height="460" style="border:0;max-width:640px" loading="lazy"></iframe>
Already publish a calendar feed?
If your website already has a calendar feed (an iCal or .ics address) we can read it and list your events for you. We only do this when you ask us to. Write to hello@sonatina.ca with the feed address and we will set it up with you. We never copy events from other sites without the owner saying yes.
What stays private
- A guest list is seen only by the person who made the event.
- A host can keep a street address hidden until someone answers yes or maybe. Such events never appear on a venue page.
- Invitations are not listed anywhere and search engines are told to ignore them.
What it costs
Free events and invitations are free, and listing them is free. Selling tickets is on the way; it will use your own Stripe account so the money goes straight to you.
