Submit an Event

Who is eligible to submit an event?

To have your event listed on the Downtown Lafayette’s Event Page, you or your organization must be an active DL Member. This includes individuals, organizations, non-profits, or businesses planning an event within the Downtown Lafayette Cultural District boundaries. If you meet these requirements, you can submit your event to be featured on our Events Page.

DL Memberships renew annually. If you are unsure of your current membership status, log in to your Giveffect account to verify.

Can I use someone else’s DL Membership account to list an event?

No, event submissions must be made by the DL Member hosting the event. Each member’s account is linked to their individual or organization’s information, so using another member's account could lead to inaccurate listings or membership issues. If you’re interested in listing an event but are not a DL Member, we encourage you to consider joining to access this benefit.

What types of events are eligible for submission?  

We accept events that contribute to the cultural, economic, community, development, artistic and business vibrancy of Downtown Lafayette. Examples include career development, festivals, concerts, art exhibits, music, educational, kids & Family public gatherings, and special promotions by businesses. Events should align with our mission of celebrating and strengthening Downtown’s cultural fabric.

Are there any submission restrictions?  

Events that are overly promotional, religious, political, or do not align with Downtown Lafayette’s community guidelines may not be approved. Events that take place outside of the Downtown Lafayette Cultural District boundaries cannot be listed. Please review a map to see if your event falls within the boundaries. We reserve the right to decline submissions based on content, event location or relevance.

How far in advance should I submit my event?  

We recommend submitting events at least 3-4 weeks in advance to allow sufficient time for review, approval, and promotion.

‍How do I submit my event?  

Fill out this Event Submission Form located below. Follow the prompts and upload all necessary details and files. Your application will then be reviewed, accepted or declined by someone on our Downtown Lafayette team.

‍How will I know if my event has been approved?  

You will receive an email confirmation once your event has been reviewed and approved. If additional details are needed before publishing, a member of our team will reach out to you directly.

What if my event details change after submission?  

If you need to make changes to your event after submission, you will need to fill out a new event registration form, as a draft and make a note that the current event listing needs to be deleted.
