There’s a new way to promote your events in the Eagle

- A festively decorated rig leads the procession Dec. 14, 2024, up Main Street in downtown John Day during the Timber Truckers Light Parade. A steady drizzle did not deter residents from turning out to watch the annual spectacle, which as signaled the start of the holiday season in the Grant County community since 1991.
We’re changing up the way we list upcoming events on the Blue Mountain Eagle website.
Our old events calendar, What’s Happening, is being phased out at the end of the year.
In its place, we’re phasing in the Go! Eastern Oregon online calendar.
Go!, of course, is the weekly arts and entertainment calendar that comes in each week’s print edition of the East Oregonian. In addition to articles on concerts, art exhibitions, books, movies and cultural activities, every issue of Go! includes a comprehensive calendar of upcoming events across all of Northeastern Oregon, divided into sections by county.
There’s an even more comprehensive version of the Go! calendar online, and you can add your upcoming events to it directly on our website — for free.
Just go to our homepage and scroll down to the Go! Eastern Oregon section. You’ll see a rotating selection of calendar listings moving across the screen, along with ads for highlighted events.
You’ll also see two red buttons marked Add Your Event. Click on either one to get started adding your own calendar listings. The software will prompt you to fill in day, time, place, ticket info and other event details, and you can add images, schedule listings for repeat events and choose enhanced promotion options.
We hope you’ll take advantage of the opportunity to list all your upcoming events in the Go! calendar. Readers will still be able to find your listing on our website, but you’ll also be able to leverage the broader reach of Go! to get your event in front of people throughout all of Northeastern Oregon.
