Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber Debuts Community Events Calendar

The Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber of Commerce has added a Community Events Calendar to our website.  Businesses, non-profits, government entities, and other organizations are encouraged to submit their upcoming community events to this public calendar.

“With this public events calendar, we hope to provide convenience for community businesses and residents by giving them a place to check for conflicting dates or just find an activity for the weekend,” said Chamber President/CEO John Newstreet.

Ideal submissions are events that are open to the public such as community festivals or vendor fairs; private events that have an associated ticket cost such as educational seminars or clinics, speaker events, or golf tournaments; and job fairs or hiring events.  Events such as benefit dinners or invite-only affairs, or private parties, should not be submitted.  The calendar can be accessed under the “Community” tab at the top of the Chamber homepage by clicking on “Community Calendar.”  It can be viewed as a monthly calendar or as a list and can be filtered by date range and searched with key terms.

Anyone may submit to the events calendar, though submissions are subject to approval.  Chamber membership is not a requirement to submit an event, though Chamber members will be given priority.  There is no fee to submit an event for the Community Events Calendar.
