List an event
The Waimate District Council want to help event organisers reach more people, both locally and outside of the District.
The majority of events held here are organised by hard working volunteers. Offering free promotional services is a way the Council can support the volunteers and organisers that bring people into the Waimate District.
A public event includes, but is not limited to, sports events, expos, public talks, fundraising events, workshops, conferences and open days.
Get started
In order to list your event you need to contact the Communications and Engagement Advisor: with all the relevant details of your event: date and time, contact details, social media or website links, a poster or photos.

Promote your event via the Explore Waimate social media pages
We regularly post to Facebook about upcoming events. Our Facebook page has over 1,450 followers, and our reach often exceeds this number.
We also love a good story. If there’s something about your event that you think local people would be interested to find out about, then we could work together to write a story about your event.
