This wikiHow teaches you how to create a new, public event with the Facebook app for Android. It’s not possible to change the privacy level of an existing event so, if you've previously created a private event, you will have to create a new one in order to set the privacy level to public.
Steps

- If you haven’t yet signed in to Facebook, enter your email address and password, then tap Log In.
