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.)

Choosing the Right Category

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

Trouble Submitting?

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.
