Be the business the friend who knows what's going on won't shut up about.
Every Tuesday, ~2,300 Eugene locals open the Cal to answer one question: what are we doing this week? That's a 61% open rate — basically a standing ovation in email-land — and hundreds of clicks to events every single issue. These aren't random eyeballs… they're your neighbors, actively looking for something to do.
Feature Your Event
The Cal can't fit every event every week (Eugene refuses to calm down). $35 guarantees yours is in — highlighted box at the bottom of its section, photo, write-up in our voice.
The Mention
For businesses, not just events. A photo, a short write-up, and a tracked link in the body of the issue — we write it so it sounds like the Cal, you approve it before it runs. One week, a couple thousand locals.
The fine print we're proud of:
Submitting an event is free and always will be. Paying never influences which free events make the cut — those are picked by hand, by a human, every week. Top Picks can't be bought at any price. And we only promote things we'd happily list anyway; anything else gets a polite no and a full refund. The Cal works because readers trust it… advertising here works for the exact same reason.
