Overview

Event Locator is a configuration of ArcGIS and a JavaScript application that allows citizens and visitors to discover festivals, shows, concerts and other events occurring in a community. Citizens and visitors can check out the calendar of events, where each event is located, and then add the event to their calendar before scheduling a visit or trip.

The Event Locator application is typically used by tourism agencies, planning and economic development departments, parks departments, and/or other emergency management organizations to promote events in their community. Event information can be accessed by citizens and visitors from a smartphone, tablet, and desktop computer.
