Event Submission Guidelines for the Weston Hub

Please read the requirements for submitting an Event before you fill out the form below.

For an Event to be posted, it must meet the following criteria:

  1. The Event is new to the calendar. (You are the first to post the Event.)
  2. The Event is hosted by a local non-profit organization or a Weston town department.
  3. The Event is both open to and of potential interest to the residents of Weston.
  4. The Event is free, or if not free, the charge or donation is clearly indicated.

For Events that do not match the above criteria, please contact the Hub team to see if your Event might still be acceptable.

All Event submissions will be reviewed by the Weston Hub team. The Team has the right not to post an Event it deems inappropriate for the Hub.

If your Event is accepted, you will receive an auto-generated email notification. Please note that it may appear in your spam folder or another non-inbox folder. (In fact it appears for now that the auto-generated email may not be arriving at all — we’re looking into it.)

If you want to be able to edit and/or delete Events that you create, you will need a user account. Please contact the Hub team to request one.

In order to display your Event, the information you submit will be collected and stored on this website. Your name and email will be kept private, and we will not share them; they are stored solely for communicating with you about your Event submission.

All fields marked with * are required.
