Things to consider when designing events:

Formatting Dates

    • ex: Monday, July 3rd - 07/07/2017
  • Other formatting for dates and times can be found here

Tribe Event Date Formatting Considerations:

  • Multi Day dates may spill over from one month to another.

  • Multi Day dates may spill over from one year to another.
    • ex: Monday, Dec. 18th - Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, 2017
