A multi-day event is a single event that spans a date range of several days, weeks or months. Examples of multi-day events are a weekend festival that you want to treat as one event, or an art exhibit that is on display for a set period of time.

Multi-day events only have start dates and end dates; they do not include a start and end times. If you want to include start and end times for each day the event is happening, go to Adding a recurring event.

Tip: A link to the opening hours of a gallery or venue can be included with the location (in Places) and displayed with the published event. This helps ensure that event date-and-time details are always up to date and in sync with the original source of the event.

To add a single event that spans a date range of several days, weeks or months:

  1. In the Event details view, click Date range.

  1. In the Date range field, select a start date and end date for the event.

  1. Because multi-day events are single events that span a date range, they do not include start and end times. If you prefer to create a repeating event, with multiple dates and times, add a recurring event instead.

Note: Event status is automatically scheduled. You only need to change it if your event is postponed or canceled.

Note: Admins can include a link to the opening hours with the event location. If a link to opening hours are included, it is displayed with the event location details.

  1. Finish adding the event details and then click Save as draft or Publish.
