Coming Soon: A New Event Publishing Experience
What you need to know before our new event system launches on June 2, 2025.
What’s Changing and When
Travel Portland’s event calendar is one of the most popular areas of our site — and it’s about to get even better. On June 2, 2025, we’re moving to a new event publishing system. While the way events appear on the website won’t change significantly, the process for submitting them will.
The new system, Cruncho Events, has fun new capabilities like uploading multiple images and videos for each event. Once we launch, we’ll share how-to guides and support resources to help with the transition.
All event organizers will need to create new accounts. The new URL for account setup and event submissions we posted here on June 2, 2025. If you’ve submitted an event with us before, you’ll also receive an email with instructions and a link once the new system goes live.
Important: You’ll Need to Create a New Account
If you’ve previously submitted events, you signed in using your Google, Facebook or LinkedIn account. The new system will require you to create a new standalone account — no previous logins or data will carry over.
- Accounts won’t be migrated
- Setup begins June 2, 2025
- A link will be posted here and emailed to past users
Your Events and What Carries Over
Any events you’ve already submitted to our calendar in our existing system prior to June 2 will be migrated to the new system and appear visible on the Travel Portland web calendar. However, you will not be able to access old events via the new admin interface, and will not be able to make changes directly.
After the transition on June 2, 2025, if a migrated event requires updating, please email us at calendar@travelportland.com.
What Happens to Your Old Account Data
To ensure a clean and secure transition away from our old system, all user account data from Localist will be permanently deleted on July 1, 2025. This includes login credentials and past event data.
No action is needed on your part, but please note: you won’t be able to log into your old account or retrieve any account details after that date.
If you have any questions or need help during this transition, feel free to reach out to us at calendar@travelportland.com.
Thank You
Thank you so much to everyone who submits events to the Travel Portland calendar! We’re excited to share our new calendar system with you and look forward to showcasing your new events.
