Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce Community Calendar Guidelines

Purpose
The Delray Beach Community Calendar is an interactive, web-based program that enables the community to post, view and search for events of broad interest to the community. The calendar is a tool for the public to promote community events and activities.

Overview
Calendar postings are designed to announce one-time or special events or programs, not regularly scheduled activities (i.e., church services, exercise classes, etc.).

The Community Calendar may be used to promote:
Educational, social, cultural or recreational events in Delray Beach open to the general public. Non-members can only submit events occurring in Delray Beach.

The Community Calendar may not be used to promote political or commercial events.

Guidelines
Postings will be limited to those abiding by the following guidelines:

  • Only events will be listed on the calendar. Examples of acceptable events include academic or athletic camps, school registrations or orientations, expos, health and wellness events, nonprofit fundraisers, concerts, plays and performances, recreational sports sign-ups, Parks & Recreation league sign-ups
  • All entries should be submitted no less than 10 business days prior to the date of the event to allow time for review and ensure posting to the Community Calendar
  • All events must be open to the general public, no “invite only” events
  • All entries must be submitted by the event organizer, and contact information for that person must be included
