FAQs

Who can host an event?
Anybody! It’s not limited to businesses. We’re always on the lookout for new events. Have a rad idea (and a venue to host it)? Submit it!
What are the requirements for submitting a SNOWDOWN event?
Name, date, time, location, and a basic description. You don't need to theme the name or description yourself; our writing team handles that.
What events aren't accepted as SNOWDOWN events?
Almost everything is accepted. The exceptions: events that put participants at an unacceptable level of danger, events that duplicate one already being held, or events that aren't unique to SNOWDOWN. For example, a "dance party" or "cocktail party" that would happen anyway and is simply advertising that a business is open won't be accepted.
Are there any restrictions on the title of my event?
The name of the venue or hosting business is not allowed in the title of the event. It's redundant and also a little cheesy. If you submit an event with your business or venue in the title, we will remove it. Some exceptions apply, cause.. it's SNOWDOWN.
Can I charge a fee for my event?
Yes, though SNOWDOWN's intent is to make as many events as possible free to eligible participants and spectators. 10% of any profit from the event, including requested donations, must go to SNOWDOWN.
Can I host an event that someone else hosted last year?
No, events are essentially owned by the entity that hosted it the year before. If they do not submit that event by October 31st, it can then be taken by someone else. For example, 11th Street Station “owns” Butt Darts; no one else can host that event or anything similar.
Please note: All events previously hosted by Starlight Lounge, Gazpachos, and EsoTerra can be hosted by another entity, with the exception of the Bartender’s Contest, which has already been claimed - FCFS.
I’m new here. When should I host my event?
You can now click View Submissions to see what dates & times are packed with events and which times are not. Historically, Wednesday evening between 5 - 8 p.m. has been the busiest because that is the one night that Follies doesn't run. However, unless you want to compete with 20+ other events, that date & time should be avoided. It’s also good to avoid the evening of the second Friday, typically 6 - 7 pm, as that is when the parade occurs.
Will SNOWDOWN help me plan my event?
No, we don't have the bandwidth for that. But you can email Sheri at events@snowdown.org with questions.
