Submit an Event
TourTalbot.org is the tourism website for the Talbot County Department of Economic Development and Tourism, a department of Talbot County Government. Its purpose is to inform visitors and residents to/of the county on things to do and experience within the county.
The TourTalbot.org event calendar is leisure oriented and is the most popular section of the website. We invite event producers holding an event within Talbot County that meet our criteria to submit their event for listing on our calendar. Some events on our calendar are chosen for further promotion through our social media channels and blog posts. However, submitting your event does not guarantee that it will be posted on TourTalbot.org. Please see guidelines below.
CRITERIA, INSTRUCTIONS, AND TIPS FOR SUBMITTING EVENTS
Events submitted to the TourTalbot.org calendar must meet the criteria set by the Talbot County Department of Economic Development and Tourism. We reserve the right to approve, remove, edit, and reject submissions and to resize and crop images provided.
- Events must be tourism-related, something that would appeal to someone visiting the area such as festivals, concerts, tours, etc. Event listings about conferences, business seminars, and classes are typically NOT PUBLISHED to the calendar.
- Events must have a link on the submitting organization’s website or Facebook page. Every event is fact-checked using this URL.
- If there is no on-line presence, the event will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Events must be non-discriminatory, open to the public, and within Talbot County.
- Events must have a specific date/dates and time/times.
- Events must include a contact person.
- Use short titles without special characters.
- Keep descriptions under 250 characters.
- Add a physical address, with street number and name.
- Tours should use the address where the tour will start.
- Please include an image. The Office reserves the right to crop and resize your image; images may appear elsewhere on TourTalbot.org. Events without an image may receive an icon, have an image or headline taken from their website, Facebook page, event flyer, or be given a standard place holder image.
- RECURRING EVENTS: Use the same title every time. Please do not include year/number of years. i.e., “5th Annual.” You can state this in the description.
