This. See how it goes, then seek input after the trial period. I'd also consider just limiting it to a single post per event.

The other alternative is to do a sticky post for each week, and let all event promoters post within that as comments.

I like the idea of a sticky. This sub is relatively low traffic in terms on new posts. I don’t think having events be a significant portion of new topics would be a good thing.

I had been doing a weekly sticky post with events I pulled from the city calendar and a prompt saying that anyone could post any event in the comments. I got lazy though and stopped doing it. I've picked making the post back up, but I haven't populated it with calendar events.

Cambridge Day puts out a weekly event list every Sunday that you can easily link to. The full link name rotates every week, but it looks like you can chop off the end and it’ll still link like:

Full (unpredictable): https://www.cambridgeday.com/2023/01/29/a-week-of-events-in-cambridge-and-somerville-from-valentines-rb-show-to-hasty-pudding/
