About the Facebook event cover size
A Facebook event cover is 1200 by 628 pixels, a 1.91:1 landscape. This is the banner people see at the top of the event and in the card when someone shares it, so it does a lot of work. Put the event name, date and location where they are easy to read, but keep them off the extreme edges, because the shared card trims a little. A high-contrast design with big type beats a busy photo here, since it is often seen small in a crowded feed.
