How to Add a Recurring Events Calendar to Squarespace

Last updated: October 2026. Every CalGet step below was tested on a real calendar in October 2026, and the Squarespace limits come from Squarespace's own help center.

If you run a weekly story time, a Tuesday class or a monthly meetup, you already know the Squarespace routine: open the event, duplicate it, change the date, save, repeat. Miss a week and your Events page quietly says there's nothing on.

This guide shows you how to add an events calendar to Squarespace where weekly events repeat on their own. We'll build it for a small bookstore with a Saturday story time and a Wednesday writers' circle, put it on the site, and show you exactly what visitors see on a computer and on a phone.

Prefer to watch? The whole setup is under three minutes on video.

What Squarespace's built-in events can and can't do

Squarespace's Events page (called a Calendar page on newer sites) is fine for a handful of one-off events. Its help center is clear about the limits: "It's not possible to set up recurring or repeating events," and the suggested workaround is to "manually duplicate events." Each calendar page supports up to 350 events a month and shows up to 250 upcoming events. You can turn on export links so visitors can add an event to Google Calendar or iCal. All of this is in Squarespace's guide to Calendar pages.

So the honest answer is: if your events don't repeat, Squarespace's own page may be all you need. If they do, a calendar that understands repeating events saves you that weekly copy-and-paste.

How to add a recurring events calendar to Squarespace

Here's the whole process at a glance. Each step is explained below.

1. 1Create a calendar in CalGet for your events.
2. 2Add your events and set the weekly ones to repeat.
3. 3Style it and allow your domain in Embeddable Calendar.
4. 4Copy the embed code (or the direct link on the Basic plan).
5. 5Paste it into a Code block on your Squarespace Events page.

Step 1: Create a calendar in CalGet

In CalGet, open Calendars, click New Calendar, give it a name your visitors will recognize (ours is "Lantern & Leaf Events") and click Create Calendar. One calendar can hold every event you want on the page.

Step 2: Add your events and make the weekly ones repeat

Click New Event and fill in the title, date, start and end time, the place and a short description. For anything that happens on a schedule, turn on Recurring. In the window that opens, set "Repeat every" to 1 Week, pick the day (or days), leave Ends on Never unless the series has an end date, and click Set Recurrence. Then click Create Event Link.

Repeat this for each event. One-off events, like an author talk or a book fair, skip the Recurring switch. Your calendar's event list marks the repeating ones so you can see the schedule at a glance.

Step 3: Style the calendar and allow your domain

Open Embeddable Calendar, pick your calendar at the top and choose a color that matches your site. You can also pick the default view, the first day of the week and the time zone.

Then click Domains, then Add Domain, and type your site's address exactly as your browser shows it. CalGet only shows your calendar on the addresses in this list, so other sites can't borrow it. If you skip this step, your page shows this instead of your calendar:

Step 4: Copy the embed code

Click Get embed code. You'll see three options. Keep JS Embed, which CalGet recommends because it resizes itself to fit your page, and click Copy code.

Here's what the code looks like. It's a placeholder and one script, so it's safe to paste as is:

<!-- CalGet.com Embed Code -->
<div id="calendar-embed-cal-dot-et"
    data-calendar-link="qgev5jea"
    data-theme="#f97316"
    data-mode="light"
    data-first-day-of-week="mon"
    data-view="month"
    data-timezone="America/New_York">
</div>

<script src="https://calget.com/assets/js/embedcalendar.js?v=71" defer></script>

Step 5: Paste it into a Code block on Squarespace

1. In Squarespace, open your Events page and click Edit.
2. Hover over the section where the calendar should go, click Add block (or +) and choose Code.
3. Click the pencil icon on the block, make sure Mode is set to HTML, delete the sample code and paste yours.
4. Drag the block's edges so it fills the width of the section.
5. Click Save, then Exit.

Squarespace documents the same steps in its guide to Code blocks.

What your visitors see

Visitors get a full month at a glance, with every weekly event in place. They can switch to Week, Schedule or Card view, search, change the time zone, and subscribe to the whole calendar with one button. Clicking an event opens its details, including the repeat ("Occurs weekly on Saturday, starting from Oct 10, 2026, forever"), and an Add to Calendar button for Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo or a calendar file.

The part you'll like most comes later. When you add or change an event in CalGet, the calendar on your Squarespace page updates by itself. We added a Fall Book Fair after the page was live, and it appeared on the site with no Squarespace edit at all. You only touch Squarespace once.

Common mistakes when adding a calendar to Squarespace

Allowing the wrong version of your domain. www and non-www are different. Add the address exactly as your browser shows it.

Pasting the code on the Basic plan. The block stays empty because Basic doesn't run scripts. Use the Direct link on a button, or upgrade to Core.

Judging it from the editor. Squarespace may hide the calendar while you're logged in. Check the live page.

Duplicating events out of habit. If you copy a weekly event instead of setting it to repeat, you're back to updating it by hand. Set the repeat once.

Leaving the Code block narrow. A calendar squeezed into a third of the page is hard to read. Stretch the block to the full width of the section.

How we tested this

We built a real CalGet calendar, "Lantern & Leaf Events", with two weekly events (Saturday Story Time and Wednesday Writers' Circle) and four one-offs, and ran its real JS embed code on a bookstore page laid out like a Squarespace 7.1 site. We tested the Access Restricted message and the exact domain matching, and added an event after the page was live to confirm it updates without touching the page. Squarespace's limits are quoted from its help center as of October 2026.

The bookstore, its address and its events are made up. The Squarespace editor in the video is a recreation, so your screen may look a little different; every CalGet screen and the live calendar are real.

Frequently asked questions

Can Squarespace do recurring events?

No. Squarespace's help center says "It's not possible to set up recurring or repeating events," and suggests duplicating events instead. To get repeating events on a Squarespace site, embed a calendar that supports them, like CalGet, in a Code block.

How do I add a calendar to my Squarespace website?

Create the calendar and events in a calendar tool, copy its embed code, then in Squarespace edit your page, click Add block, choose Code, set Mode to HTML and paste the code. Save, exit, and check the live page.

Which Squarespace plan do I need to embed a calendar?

Squarespace runs JavaScript and iframes in Code blocks on the Core, Plus and Advanced plans. On the Basic plan, link to the calendar instead, for example with a Button block.

Why isn't my embedded calendar showing on Squarespace?

Three usual reasons: you're looking at it while logged in, and Squarespace hides some code there; your site's domain isn't on the calendar's allowed list, which shows an Access Restricted message; or your site is on the Basic plan, which doesn't run scripts.

Will the calendar update when I add new events?

Yes. The calendar on your page reads from CalGet, so new or changed events appear on your Squarespace site without editing the page again.

Put a calendar that repeats on your Squarespace site

Set up your weekly events once, paste one Code block, and stop duplicating events every Monday. The same calendar works on WordPress, Wix and any other site that takes embed code.

Create your embeddable calendar in CalGet and add it to your Squarespace Events page.
