The purpose of Willamette Valley Visitor Association event listing is to feature special events whose appeal is broad enough to attract out-of-area visitors or entice visitors to extend their stay or provide a tourism-related activity available to visitors and residents alike.

• Event must be located in the Willamette Valley region 
  • Polk, Marion, Linn, Benton, Lane, Clackamas, Yamhill County
• Not for religious, political, personal, pornographic, or propaganda purpose
• Event must be open to the public (priority will be given to events with high visitor appeal that will attract visitors from outside of the area)
• Non-visitor events will not be included on the calendar (examples include, but are not limited to: meetings, conventions, dinners, auctions, fund-raisers, galas, school events, classes/workshops, clinics, camps, on-going permanent events, etc.)
• Events benefiting charitable organizations, such as rides, runs and other athletic competitions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To be listed, the public must be able to purchase a ticket or register for the event without additional fund-raising requirements.
