Add Your Tourism Event

Let us help you publicize your tourism type event through our free online database of events.  We offer these listings as a free service for events within Saugeen Shores and communities within a 1/2 hour drive of Saugeen Shores (additional specific communities are listed on the community drop down menu within our event submission form).  Due to the high volume of event submissions, we have recently downsized our event coverage area. Please note that Bruce County Tourism website and Grey County Tourism website accept event submissions for their respective areas of coverge.  To have your events considered for inclusion in our events database, complete an online form using the button at the bottom of this page.  Before submitting an event, please check to see if it is already in the database of events. 

All appropriate events that meet our criteria (see various criteria below) will be entered into the tourism events database (after processing and activation) at the discretion of the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce Tourism Staff.  We reserve 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 their Saugeen Shores Visitor Guide event listings and/or for their event listings handouts and postings at the Port Elgin Tourist Information Office and Southampton Visitors' Centre.  Our events listings also feed into the sunsets.com events database for additional promotion. By submitting events to our online events database, consent for these uses is implied.  Should we opt to use your information for any of these various purposes, there would be no cost to you for this additional promotion of your event.
