I’d also add local sports clubs, a lot of them have half-decent websites and you can pull in results/fixtures feeds from some of the better ones.

Thanks Katelyn – the main web sites I listed usually have enough event details to put together a post.

Great Post!

I especially like point 3. What resources do you use to find the details on local events?

I’d add community groups and orgs. Rotary, Lions, Cub Scouts … many of these have a website or page that thy post info on their events. Just as you pointed out in #3, many of these sites are poorly built or deep within a free web tool. Bringing their activities and events to the top of your site benefits all parties.
