You can now display event times in the timezone where your event takes place!
This new feature adds a simple “Show local time” option that displays event dates and times using the timezone you’ve selected, helping attendees understand when events occur in their physical location.
Perfect for:
In-person meetups
Conferences
Any event where showing the local time at the venue is important

Will this also be reflected in the notification emails for the event? Or is that still locked in with the recently updated site-wide mechanism:
This is now merged!
I guess I consider the OP resolved.
We changed to a more “friendly” date format in emails (llll)
We allow pinning timezone in emails to non UTC timezones via the setting discourse_local_dates_email_timezone
@aidanheerdegen it should be on your instance in a week or 2 but if you wish to rush an update shoot off an email to team@discourse.org !

Nice because some folks will be in different time zones especially if the event is for a live stream event using the cool live stream plugin
No it’s only on the client for now, mails are tricky.

@joffreyjaffeux this feels a bit loud:
Perhaps we change this to:
“Sun–Fri, Sep 7–12, 5:30pm–6:30pm”
It is so much clearer and 5:30pm can still be a link for people who want the date widget.
IF
Event is 12 hours or shorter
Event has local time fixed (no need to show CET) on the event.
Don’t show year if event is this year
Repeating
Also we have a bug:
Should be 7…
