How to add events to facebook page

  • You can create an event on Facebook whether you're making one for your brand or personal profile.
  • Facebook allows you to create a one-time event or set your event for a recurring date or set of dates.
  • You can update the event information and guest list if any changes come up.

Facebook events can help you bring together a group of friends for a birthday or raise awareness about an event your company is hosting.

Facebook users can discover these events through invites from their friends, engagement from friends, or suggestions made by the website itself. Events make it easier to share information about both one-time programs and recurring ones.

Here's how to create an event on Facebook for your brand page or personal profile from a desktop computer.

How to create an event from your business or brand page on the Facebook website

1. While on your business or brand page, click the "Events" tab under the name of your page.

3. On the next screen, choose whether your event will be "Online" or "In person."

4. On the left side of the next screen, enter an event name, start date and start time, and end date and end time, if any. The privacy level will be automatically set to public for business and brand pages. Add a description and select a category from the drop-down list of options. The right side of the screen displays a preview of what the event page will look like — click the icons in the top right corner to preview the page on a desktop or mobile app. Click "Next" on the left side of the screen once you've entered the necessary info.

5. If you're creating an in-person event, type in a physical location for the event. If you're creating an online event, choose one of the location options listed: "Facebook Live," "External link," or "Other." Click "Next."

6. On the "Additional details" page, click "Upload Cover Photo" to add your event page's cover photo. Click "Event settings" to add co-hosts, make your guest list viewable to all invitees, and choose admin and posting restrictions.

7. When you're done, click "Create Event."

8. Before taking you to your newly created event page, a pop-up will ask you if you want to "Boost your event." When you boost your event, you can pay for targeted event ads to specific audiences. 

9. On the right side of your event page, click "Share event" or "Link a group" to notify people of your public event. Unlike with personal events, business or brand events don't have the option to invite specific friends from your friends list.
