Events submitted today will be eligible for publication in the June 18 issue of the paper.
All standard listings are free and printed on a space-available basis. We cannot guarantee publication of any submission; however, submitting by the deadline (and with as many details included as possible) can only help.
DEADLINES: The Austin Chronicle is distributed every Thursday. Event submissions are due the Monday of the week prior to the issue in which you wish to have them published (i.e., submit your event by Monday, June 8 for publication on Thursday, June 18).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the cost?
It’s FREE! There is no cost to list your event. During the listing submission process, there are additional advertising features to promote your listing online to reach more readers. Please note: those options are non-refundable.
-
What type of event listings do you accept?
We accept club listings, live performances, festivals, art openings, special screenings, community events, support groups, game nights, you name it. However, we will refuse to publish any submission that promotes racism, sexism, hate speech, or content in poor taste that violates our standards. The Austin Chronicle reserves the right to reject any event listing.
-
What about out-of-town events?
Our focus is on keeping it local. We're happy to accept events in Austin or in the surrounding Central Texas area, but we reserve the right to reject submissions that fall too far outside our coverage area.
-
When will I see my event posted?
We strive to approve events as soon as possible; however, our focus is on the print issue, so events taking place in the near future will be prioritized. Once approved, your submission will be online immediately.
-
Will you print my listing write-up verbatim?
Your write-up will inform our editorial department, which may choose to rewrite your event for print or online. We also reserve the right to rewrite and edit all listings for style and space. However, you may purchase an ad in our print issue by contacting our Sales team.
-
What's the difference between online and print listings?
Everything that runs in the print issue will run online. We reserve the right to publish only those listings that our editors choose in print. Also, we have limited space in the paper for event listings, so we generally run only those events happening in one calendar week, which includes the Thursday on which the paper hits the stands through the following Thursday.
-
What about recurring events?
We will only publish indefinitely repeating or ongoing listings for a few months, depending on the type of event. If you'd like us to continue listing your event after that time, please resubmit your information. Please note: If you have submitted an event that repeats regularly or is an indefinitely ongoing event or announcement, please keep us informed.
-
What if my information changes?
Please keep us updated about changes or cancellations by sending a message to our Calendar Editor with "LISTING UPDATE" in the subject line.
-
How many listings can I submit?
Always something to do in Austin, for sure, but spamming us isn’t appreciated.
-
What are some other advertising options?
If you are interested in purchasing advertising for your event, regardless of the above criteria, please contact an account executive for more information.
