The Featured Events block can display either Promos or Events

  • Promos do not have calendar-related dates and will stay on pages until you manually remove them.
  • Events disappear from the Home, Facility/Program and Category page at midnight on the day they are over and are automatically replaced with the next dated event in line.
  • The Premier space can be pinned with an event that is far in the future and will not disappear until its date passes. Dated items in the lower block will continue to update and disappear, leaving the Premier space as-is. When the Premier event date passes, the next dated event in line will automatically replace it.
