GUIDELINES
Events will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but here are some general questions to consider before submitting.
Is your event accessible and welcoming to all? Is it likely to draw folks to Durham from near and far? Does it embody the spirit of the Bull City? Is it representative of our culture and community? Chances are that it qualifies as an event for the Discover Durham calendar.
Events should have the following qualities
- Supports tourism in our region and draws visitors
- Encourages visitor spending and tax generation within Durham County
- Accessible to the general public.
Events NOT likely to be considered include exceedingly localized events like summer camp programs or membership-based events, exclusionary religious/political events, or product demonstrations and sales events whose primary purpose is to sell or promote the products or services of a single business.
If you have any questions at all about whether your event meets these criteria, please contact us.
