Calendar Information
Free listings
The free calendar is a 14-day guide to events, from the Wednesday of publication through the second Tuesday following.
To qualify for a free listing of up to 50 words, an event must be open to the public, and benefit or be sponsored by a nonprofit organization, with cost of admission $40 or less. Local nonprofit groups that meet regularly qualify for a free ongoing listing. A free event intended to promote a for-profit business does not qualify for a free listing, and will be required to be submitted as a paid listing. If your event or organization is for-profit, please see Paid Listings.
The deadline: Free listings must be in our hands by 5 p.m. on the Wednesday 7 days prior to the publication date. Listings that arrive after this deadline won't make it into the next issue of Mountain Xpress.
To submit a free listing, you can send it by any of these methods:
• Online Submission Form (best): click here.
• E-mail (second best): calendar@mountainx.com
Send as plain text in the body of your email – no attachments (except .jpg pictures).
• Fax (next best): (828) 251-1311, Attn: Free Calendar
• Mail: Free Calendar, Mountain Xpress, P.O. Box 144, Asheville, NC 28802
• In person: Mountain Xpress, 2 Wall St. (the Miles Building), second floor, downtown Asheville.
Please limit your submission to 50 words or less. Longer submissions will be edited for length. We reserve the right to edit submissions for style and content, and we may choose not to list an event that is non-local. Publication in the calendar does not imply our endorsement of any person, group or event.
Questions? Call (828) 251-1333, ext. 365.

Paid listings lead the calendar sections in which they are placed, and are marked (pd.).
Rates for paid listings range from $15 to $10.50 per 30-word listing, depending on how many consecutive weeks they will run. Each additional word after the first 30 costs $0.35 per word, per week. Non-profit rates are available. For first-time customers, pre-payment is required. We accept payments by credit card, check, cash or money order.
