DISCOVER LOS ANGELES!

By Sheryll Alexander

For those who need a quick getaway to The City Angels, LA INC. (otherwise known as the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau) has launched a new and very cool events section on its DiscoverLosAngeles.com website.

LA INC. claims this free online calendar is easy to navigate and a convenient place to discover everything that’s happening in the LA metropolis such as museum exhibitions, concerts, sporting events, live theatre, film festivals and kid-friendly events.

What else is cool about DiscoverLosAngeles.com’s calendar? It’s got:

A revolving “What’s Hot” section with top picks for upcoming events in the areas of concerts, live music, museums, theaters, sport, recreation and entertainment.

A “Google Gadget,” which permits website visitors to add the event directly onto their personal Google calendar.

A social media sharing tool that allows users to share events with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, email and more.

A mobile version of the calendar for those visiting discoverLosAngeles.com from a smart device.

The ability for organizations and venues in the Greater Los Angeles Area to submit their events.

Advanced options for searching by date, category, location and venue.

How to Submit Your Event

Ticketmaster and more than 2,000 actively contributing arts and cultural organizations, the site is always up to date with the latest events. Cultural and arts organizations in Los Angeles County can apply to be listed in the directory and add events to the calendar. To submit an event to the Los Angeles Calendar of Events, visit discoverLosAngeles.com/events.html. Once the event has been submitted, it will be reviewed by discoverLosAngeles.com and posted thereafter.  Please note, events already listed on http://www.Ticketmaster.com and/or http://www.experienceLA.com will be automatically fed into this calendar.
