Submit Your Event to the Uptown Calendar
Whether you’re hosting a cozy open mic, a retail sale, or a major community celebration, if it’s happening within the Uptown Saint John BIA area, we’d love you to share it. Use the button below to submit your event. Once approved (typically within 2–3 business days), it will be added to our Uptown community event calendar.
Please note: All events listed are independently organized. Uptown Saint John Inc. is not responsible for event management or promotion.
Top Tips for Submitting
Help your event shine! Follow these guidelines to make sure everything goes smoothly:
- Add an image – 1MB or under is best
- Double check your dates & times – overlapping entries can cause errors
- Choose the right category – this helps visitors easily find your event
Submit early – especially for seasonal events (Uptown Sparkles, Valentine’s Day, etc.)
When submitting your event, selecting the right category ensures it shows up in the places visitors look. Here’s how to choose:
Community & Business Organized Events
For general activities, markets, pop-ups, and everything in between. You can even pick a subcategory that best fits your event.
Specials → Restaurant Specials / Retail Specials
Perfect for daily, weekly, or seasonal features like:
- Restaurant specials (brunch menus, drink features, etc.)
- Retail discounts or promos
Choose one of the following subcategories:
- Restaurant Specials
- Retail Specials
Uptown Sparkles
Use this for any Sparkles-specific happenings, like:
- Extended hours
- Holiday pop-ups
- Window displays
- In-store treats or music
Sometimes technology hits a snag! Before reaching out, check the following:
- Is your photo under 1MB?
- Are multiple people submitting at once? If so, give it a moment.
- Are there any overlapping dates or times? These can cause errors.
If you still hit a wall or receive an error message, screenshot or copy the message and contact us here.
To be included on our calendar, your event must take place within the Uptown Saint John Business Improvement Area (BIA) and the venue must be in good standing with the BIA. Click here to view the map
