Your Event Has Been Submitted
We appreciate you sharing it with us. Our team will review your submission and be in touch if we're able to feature it in an upcoming issue.
Here's How It Works
We have all the details we need. Thanks for helping us keep Des Moines locals in the loop about what's happening around town.
Our team looks at every event submitted. We consider timing, fit with our audience, and available space in upcoming issues when deciding what to include.
We'll include your event in the right issue — whether that's our Friday Weekend Roundup, the Monday Plan Ahead Guide, or a dedicated feature for bigger events.
We get more submissions than we can feature — so we pick the ones that feel right for our readers at the right time.
Submitting an event does not guarantee it will appear in the Des Moines Digest. We select events editorially based on fit, timing, and space in each issue. We won't contact you to confirm inclusion — but if we have questions or need more details, we'll reach out directly. Feel free to submit again for future events.
Where It Could Appear
Friday Weekend Roundup
Our most popular issue — a curated list of the best things to do in Des Moines that weekend. High readership, highly engaged locals looking for plans.
Monday Plan Ahead Guide
Bigger or recurring events may appear on Monday, giving readers enough lead time to plan ahead and mark their calendars for the week.
Social Media
Stand-out events may earn a dedicated post or story across our Instagram and Facebook pages, reaching locals who follow us beyond the newsletter.
"Des Moines has more going on than most people realize. Thanks for helping us prove it."
