Q: Why doesn’t it show up on the calendar immediately?
A: It takes up to 24 hours for your event to post. Because we have real people checking all of the events to ensure your event is legit, it can take up to 24 hours to post your event. So, please don’t enter it multiple times.
Q: How do I get my event featured in the print edition?
A: Please e-mail your press release and high resolution images to editor@tahoethisweek.com. High resolution images are required to be considered as a featured event for the print edition, and requests should be made at least 3 weeks before your event for consideration.
We receive a lot of requests, so the earlier your request, the better your chance of getting in the print edition.
