What's on
Events on the lake and in town
Fireworks over the water, beach days, tournament weekends, public alerts, and seasonal City notices, all presented as part of one Carlyle calendar instead of scattered posts.

Lake-season highlights
These are real Carlyle sources from the current City site and related City documents. A live site would load exact future dates from the City's event system instead of showing stale or guessed calendar entries.
4th of July Dam Jam
Fireworks, live music, vendors, parking notes, viewing areas, and lake-partner information in one scannable event page.
Beach season
City lake notices become timely, photo-forward updates that point residents and visitors to the right lake-management source.
Fishing tournaments
Tournament results and visitor activity show why the lake matters to Carlyle's public-facing calendar.
The concept favors real source links now, and live event dates only when the City publishes them.
Better calendar tools
Events should feel current
The City should be able to post an event once and have it appear everywhere: the home page, the events page, search, mobile notifications, and archive pages after it passes.
Real dates only
No guessed calendar entries. Drafts can stay hidden until the City publishes the official date and location.
Photo-led listings
Lake and park events deserve images that show the place, not just text rows with tiny date boxes.
Add to calendar
Residents can add City meetings, closures, and lake events to their own calendars from the event page.
Alerts when needed
Weather, road closures, boil orders, and urgent City notices can connect to CodeRED and City updates.
On a live site, this calendar would be the City's own, with real dates, locations, details, and an “add to my calendar” option for each event. The concept can keep the City's existing event-calendar workflow or replace it inside the new CMS, but it should never require residents to interpret stale posts.
Stay in the loop
Never miss what's happening
Sign up for CodeRED to get City alerts on your phone, and follow the City's public channels for event reminders, road closures, and lake news. A live site would let residents subscribe to just the updates they care about.
