Get Your Event Listed: A Quick Guide for Organizers

If you're hosting an event in the Grand Valley and you're not listed on WestSlopeEvents.com, you're leaving reach on the table. Listing is free, takes less than five minutes, and puts your event in front of the thousands of locals who use the site to find things to do every week.

Who Should Submit?

WestSlopeEvents.com accepts submissions from:

  • Local businesses — grand openings, sales events, classes, workshops
  • Community organizations — fundraisers, volunteer events, nonprofit programs
  • Event promoters and venues — concerts, shows, ticketed events
  • Churches and civic groups — community gatherings, holiday events, outreach programs
  • Individual organizers — yard sales, neighborhood events, swap meets
  • Schools and libraries — public programs and events open to the community

If it's open to the public and happening on Colorado's Western Slope, it belongs on the calendar.

What Makes a Good Listing?

Events with strong listings get more views and clicks. Here's what matters:

A clear, specific title. "Live Music at Fruita Tavern — June 14" beats "Weekend Fun" every time. Be specific about what the event is.

A real description. Even two or three sentences about what attendees will experience, who it's for, and why they should come makes a big difference. Vague listings get passed over.

An image. Events with images get significantly more clicks. Use a high-quality photo, your event poster, or a venue photo.

Accurate date, time, and location. Double-check these — incorrect info creates a bad experience for everyone.

A link. Include your website, ticket page, or Facebook event link so people can get more details.

After You Submit

Events are reviewed by our team before going live — typically within one business day. We check for completeness, accuracy, and community relevance. If something's missing or unclear, we may reach out.

Once live, your event appears in search results, category pages, and the weekly email digest that goes to subscribers every Friday morning.
