EVENT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Before submitting your event, please search the VisitBakersfield.com Event Calendar to verify it is not already listed. Visit Bakersfield uses a technology platform to aggregate event listings from Google-indexed data. If your event is listed on Eventbrite, Facebook, your website or some other ticketing platform, it may already be listed. Our goal is to reduce the amount of time you have to use to submit your events so please view the Event Guidelines here for more information on the automation process.

Please Note: All submissions will be reviewed for approval by the CVB staff before appearing on the website or in print publications. Although we do check the information submitted for spelling errors, we do not take responsibility for inaccurate information. Please contact us immediately if you discover any inaccurate information in our event listings.
