Add Your LocalHop Events Calendar to Your Organization’s Facebook Page

UPDATE: Facebook has recently changed this functionality to only be accessible to organization and business pages with 2,000+ page likes or pages that are run by whitelisted apps.

Do you use a LocalHop events calendar? You might be excited to know that you can add it to your Facebook page in just a few easy steps. Visitors can view your calendar and sign up for your events just as they would on your website, on getlocalhop.com, or on the mobile app.
