Add Your Event

Let us help you publicize your event through our free online calendar of events.  We offer this listing as a free service for people having events within Saugeen Shores and also for major regional events.  To be considered, please complete an online form using the button at the bottom of this page.

All appropriate events that meet criteria (please read criteria below) will be entered into the Saugeen Shores tourism website (after processing and activation) at the discretion of the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce Tourism Staff.  The Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce reserves the right to edit and/or refuse any events submitted.

The Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce may also opt to use this event information while compiling their events readings for 98 The Beach and/or for the Saugeen Shores Visitor Guide (if your events listing is processed and posted by our press deadline) and/or for their event listings handouts and postings at the Port Elgin Tourist Information Office and Southampton Visitors' Centre.  By submitting events online, consent for these publications is implied.  Should the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce opt to use your information for these purposes, there would be no cost to you for this additional promotion of your event.
