2023 Live Local Calendar Campaign
Ever find yourself wishing there was one big list of events and happenings in the area, but searching all over becomes just too much? Well, let us do the work for you!
We started the Live Local Calendar Campaign in 2022 to help our community members find events and happenings in the area all in ONE PLACE! We have them in order by month and day so you don't miss a thing.
The calendar is posted during our first week of the campaign (Memorial Day weekend) and is continuously updated as more events pop up! The summer campaign runs through September. Another campaign will begin in the winter for all the holiday events!
You can also tune into Marshall Radio each week (KKCK 94.7 and KARL 105.1) as they present the current week's upcoming events and highlight the Live Local Sponsor of the week every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday multiple times a day!
Use the button below to get your copy of the most current Live Local Calendar and watch for more events to be added as we continue to update the calendar weekly!
