Terms for Event Listings

Hudson County Tourism Event Listing on the events calendar of the VisitHudson.org site

Placing a tourism event on the VisitHudson.org website is provided as a free service. Tourism listings will be considered which meet the following criteria:

• Event must be related to the tourism industry, open to the general public and appeal to visitors not just a local audience.
• Event must take place in Hudson County and/or have primary focus of a location in Hudson County.
• An everyday occurrence does not constitute an event, there must be an element that is out of the norm which makes it special and considered an event.
• Event listings will not be published that are solicitations or contain any profane language and content.
• Events will only be accepted for possible approval via the online Event Submission Form. Emails, press releases, and other forms of media are not acceptable.

All submissions will be reviewed by the Hudson County Division of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development to determine that the event meets the criteria and is related to the tourism industry. The Division reserves the right to edit, modify, restrict or remove listings at any time without notification.
