Your event, live everywhere it matters
One listing powers your LampPost profile, the local discovery feed, category pages, and your embeddable website calendar. You are not copy-pasting the same details into four places.
For event hosts
List your events, sell tickets, and reach people looking for you. We're building the largest events audience in Canada.
Trusted by local event organizers
Sound familiar?
Most hosts we talk to are juggling ticketing, social posts, email blasts, and a calendar that never stays current. It works, but it eats your time before the event even starts.
Today
With LampPost
We built LampPost because we got tired of that. Marketing and ticketing belong in the same place, especially when you are running events in one city and trying to build a real audience.
List your event once. Reach local audiences. Sell tickets if you need to. Everything else is optional add-ons you can turn on when you are ready.
Add your event in about two minutes. Date, venue, image, tags. Done.
Your event shows up in local feeds, category pages, and our weekly email digest. No ad spend required.
Turn on ticketing at $0.75 per paid ticket. Payouts through Stripe. Free events cost nothing.
People follow your host profile. Next time you drop an event, they get notified.
How it actually works
Here is what changes when you move your events onto LampPost. Less admin. More people showing up.

Us vs other platforms
Eventbrite handles checkout. Facebook handles posts. Neither is built to help local hosts get discovered week after week. LampPost does both.
