Event Guidelines

These criteria can help ensure that the content shared by Tour Gonzales aligns with the objectives and maintains a positive and effective representation of the organization.

What do we do with your events?
When you submit events to us, you are submitting them for consideration for use on the Tour Gonzales website (www.tourgonzales.com), in promotional collateral, and social media outlets. If your event is expected to bring out of town visitors, it will be reviewed to be placed on our current billboards. Your submission of events to Tour Gonzales does not guarantee inclusion in all the above.

Please allow 24-48 business hours for your event to be reviewed.

• Events must occur in Gonzales County or within a 15-mile radius.
• Events must be submitted at least two weeks prior to its start date or sooner.
• Events may not be restrictive of any groups or individuals.

If you believe that we mistakenly denied approval for any event, please contact us to initiate a discussion.
