How do I create or edit an event for my Facebook Page?

To create an in-person event:
  1. In the top right of Facebook, click , then Event.
  2. Click In person.
  3. Add the event details.
  4. Tap Create Event.
Your event opens and you can share posts, invite guests, add a cover photo and edit event details.
Note: Only Pages, not personal profiles, can create recurring events. Learn more about the difference between a Page and a profile.
Privacy
Bear in mind that you can't change an event's privacy after you've created the event.
There are four privacy options for events:
  • Private: Visible only to the people who are invited. You can choose to allow guests to invite their friends. People who are invited can see the event description, photos, posts and videos.
  • Public: Visible to anyone on or off Facebook. Anyone can see things like the event description, photos, posts and videos.
  • Friends: Visible only to your Facebook friends. Your friends can see the event description, photos, posts and videos.
  • Group: The group privacy setting determines who can see the event.
    • Public group: Visible to anyone on or off Facebook. Anyone can see things like the event description, photos, event discussion and videos.
    • Private group: Visible only to members of the group. Group members can see the event description, photos, posts and videos.
Allow guests to invite friends
If you're creating a private event and you'd like to let guests invite others, you can turn on Guests can invite friends. Letting guests invite means that they can invite others to the online event, including people you may not know or who are not Facebook or Messenger users.
Bear in mind that you cannot change this setting after you've created your event.
