Our "Hanover Community Calendar" is populated with events submitted by you! This calendar highlights non-profit, special and neighbor events all across our area.

Hosting an event? If you, or an area organization, is hosting an event let us know. Event postings should follow these parameters:

1. The event must take place within Hanover County OR be hosted by a Hanover Chamber member

2. The event must be community focused and intended to provide support, fundraising, care or fun to area residents and chamber members

3. Note this calendar is not intended for reoccurring seminars or group meetings, sales events or workshops given by individual for-profit companies

When you submit events, please be sure to include the date, time, location/address, web link and an image or logo. Community calendar postings that fit our criteria will be made publicly visible on our website and in newsletters within a week of being sent to us; send events 4-6 weeks in advance for maximum exposure.

    This is our first year as a Two-Day ParaCon!

    Whether you’ve joined us at the Hanover Tavern before, or this will be your first time exploring this beautiful building, welcome to the Hanover Tavern ParaCon!

    ​We’re going to have a jam-packed weekend of Paranormal fun and learning. You’ll be among some of the most selfless and knowledgeable individuals, groups, teams, and organizations within the Paranormal. This event is about coming together as a community to unite under one roof in support of the Tavern.

    ​100% of the proceeds from the Hanover Tavern ParaCon will be going directly to the Hanover Tavern Foundation, with the intent and purpose to support the Foundation in their continued efforts to protect and interpret the Tavern and to provide educational programming for all. Historic sites are a beacon of knowledge and provide opportunities for growth, not only for the paranormal field, but also the community at large. ​Join us as we rally around the Hanover Tavern to support these endeavors and find yourself part of something bigger than all of us.
