    Past events disappear automatically after their end date. No stale content, no manual cleanup. Your board always shows what's current and upcoming.

    Important: Event Bucket is not a replacement for official emergency notification, 911, sirens, or SMS/phone alert systems. It is a public information display and civic broadcast layer.

    Cities Pay. Citizens Use It Free.
    Zero Burden on Residents.

    The Event Bucket™ believes community events should be accessible to everyone. Your city invests in the platform so citizens face zero barriers to staying connected.

    Verified Community Information

    Every event in the feed comes directly from the organizer through the city's official community board and is reviewed by a city administrator before going live. Your station isn't relaying secondhand details, you're delivering first-party, city-verified event information your listeners can trust.

    The Event Bucket™ is a community-first platform. Radio partners help us reach more cities by spreading the word on-air and online. The more cities on the network, the richer your event feed becomes. Everyone wins.

    See It in a 10-Minute Demo

    In one short demo, we'll show how a citizen submits an event, city staff approve it, and the event appears automatically on your public board, website embed, and lobby TV display.
