List an event

The Waimate District Council can 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 who bring people into the Waimate District.

Examples of public events include sports events, expos, public talks, fundraising events, workshops, conferences and open days.

Get started

To list your event, contact the Communications and Promotions Officer with all the relevant details of your event: date and time, contact details, social media or website links, a poster or photos.

How we help

Waimate Promotions can help promote your event in the following ways:

1

Create a free listing for your event on the Explore Waimate District website

The events section is one of the highest traffic areas on the Explore Waimate District website.  

We ask for either your marketing poster, or some images of your event to add to this section of the website.

You can check it out here.

2

Upcoming events are published in our fortnightly newsletter, Newsline.

This goes out via email to subscribers.

To subscribe to Newsline go to waimatedc.govt.nz/notifyme

We may also promote your event on our Explore Waimate Facebook page.

We regularly post to Facebook about upcoming events. Our Facebook page has more than 2,200 followers and reach often exceeds this. 

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.  

4

Drop off a poster and we may display it on our noticeboard outside the Council offices.

Drop off flyers and posters at reception with a note ‘for Josie’.
