Post your events once. Let the whole town find them.
Haunts for Organizations gives your shop, theater, library or club a free events page — a page for every event, a calendar feed, and a QR code — published in the formats news sites, event calendars and search engines read.
Built for yarn stores, theaters, libraries, bike clubs, and anyone else with something on the calendar.
Running a local news site instead? Haunts for Publishers collects every event in town for you.
Where your events go
The flyer on the corkboard only reaches people already in the shop.
Ready for the local news calendar.
News sites and community calendars want listings like yours, and rarely have time to retype them. Haunts publishes your events in the standard formats they read, so picking them up is easy instead of a chore.
Publishers running Haunts can add your calendar with a click. Nobody can promise every editor will — but you'll be the easiest listing in town to say yes to.
Easy for search engines to understand.
Every event gets its own page, and every page tells search engines what it is, when, and where, in the structured data they look for. Your calendar is in the sitemap from day one.
So when someone searches for a knitting class or a Saturday ride in your town, your event has a real shot at showing up.
Avoid the algorithm.
If Instagram and Facebook are how people hear about your events, you're at the algorithm's mercy. If the algorithm stops showing your events, you've got a big problem.
Haunts for Organizations gives you a way to get the word out that you control. Keep posting where your people are, and put your calendar link in your bio, so anyone who asks "what's on?" gets the whole schedule, not just whatever the feed showed them this week.
On your regulars' phones.
Your people can subscribe to your calendar, so new dates and changes show up on their phones without you sending a thing. Print the QR code on a poster or tape it by the register.
Have a website already? Paste one snippet and your calendar lives there too.
How it works
You already made the flyer. That's most of the work.
No flyer? No problem! Text is good too.
Step 1
Upload the flyer.
Drop in the flyer you already made, or a photo of it. Haunts reads the title, dates and times for you.
Step 2
Check it, publish it.
Fix anything it got wrong and hit publish. A weekly class is one event with a schedule, not fifty copies.
Step 3
Share one link.
Your page, feeds and QR code are live. Skip a date or change a time, and everywhere updates.
Every event deserves a picture.
No flyer for this one? Pick a layout, add a photo (your own, or one from a free photo library), and Haunts makes the event's image from your logo, your color, and the event's title, date and place. If the date moves, the image redraws itself.
It makes a wide version too, so when someone shares the event's link on Facebook or in a group chat, the preview shows the event, not just your logo.

FAQ
What's the catch?
Is it really free?
Yes. One organization, up to 30 events a month, no card. A repeating event, like a weekly class, counts once.
A local news site made me a demo. What happens when I claim it?
The demo becomes your calendar, with its events already published. The news site gets your feed, so the events you add later can reach their calendar too.
Will news sites and search engines definitely list my events?
Nobody can promise that. What Haunts does is publish your events in the formats they read, so listing them is easy.
Why is it invite-only?
It's new, and we're bringing organizations on a few at a time. If someone sent you an invite code or a demo link, you're in.
Do I need a website?
No. Your Haunts page is a home for your events on its own. If you do have a site, one snippet puts the calendar there too.
Who's behind Haunts?
Spectral Web Services, which also makes Haunts for Publishers, the events calendar local news sites use.
