Submit An Event
Share your event with visitors and locals alike by submitting it to the official Visit Independence Events Calendar.
The Visit Independence Events Calendar helps visitors discover what’s happening in Independence while they’re in town. It highlights experiences that add value to a visitor’s stay and showcase the city’s culture, entertainment, and community spirit. Before submitting an event, we encourage you to consider one key question: Would this appeal to someone visiting from out of town?
To be eligible for inclusion, events must take place within Independence, Missouri, be open to the public, and be of interest to visitors. Qualifying events include art shows, performing arts productions, concerts and musical performances, exhibits and related events, professional or high-profile sporting events, city-wide festivals and parades, attraction-hosted events, wine tastings, convention center exhibits open to the public, special activities such as circuses, and appearances by high-profile national speakers.
To submit your event, please complete all required fields in the form below. Submissions are reviewed before being published to ensure accuracy, completeness, and visitor relevance. Events are not automatically added to the calendar, and you will be notified if your submission cannot be approved.
For questions regarding event or photo submissions, please contact maila.yang@visitindependence.com.
