Instructions for Adding Events to the Krewe Calendar

Adding events to the Krewe Calendar is fairly simple and straight-forward. Just follow these simple instructions and you should have no problems. If you do experience difficulties, do not hesitate to contact the Webmaster

Note: Items with a red dot beside them are mandatory. 

  1. TITLE:This is the title of the event such as Krewe Meeting, Krewe Parade, etc.
  2. DESCRIPTION:This is the section below the title. You have as much room as you need to describe the event. 
  3. START DATE:Clicking in the box will bring-up a calendar you can use to pick the date of the event. 
  4. START TIME:Use the drop-downs to pick the time the event starts. Note: times are in a 24-hour format. 
  5. END DATE:Like the start date, use the date picker to choose the end date. If this is a single-day event, the start date and end date should be the same. Please choose an end date otherwise the event will repeat. 
  6. END TIME:Use the drop-downs to pick the time the event ends, or don’t. An end-time is not required. Note: times are in a 24-hour format.
