Submit an event

Send us the details and we’ll review it for Ottawalist. Markets, shows, sports, food, culture, community events, and free things to do are all welcome.

Provide the official event details below. Ottawalist reviews every submission before publication, so submitting does not guarantee a listing.

Required: Event Name, Category, Start Date, Location / Venue, Short Description, Your Name, and Contact Email. End Date is required only for multi-day events.

Choose a start date after today.
End Date will match Start Date. Uncheck this option to add an End Date for a multi-day event.
Times use Ottawa local time (Eastern Time) and are available in 30-minute intervals. If you add one time, add both.
For overnight events, make this a multi-day event and choose the following day as the End Date.

After a successful submission, you’ll see a thank-you page. Every event is reviewed, and inclusion in our weekly website listings or on Instagram is not guaranteed.

By submitting, you agree that Ottawalist may use these details to review and publish the event. Form data is processed by Formspree. Read our privacy notice.

Tip: Events with a clear date, location, image, and ticket/details link are easier to feature.
  • Keep the description short and useful.
  • Mention if it is free, family-friendly, or accessible.
  • Include the official event link whenever possible.
