Submit an event to the NYC board

If you run something in New York City that is open to the public, send it here. This is the direct route in — everything else on the board was found by us, not sent to us.

The board live right now (Sep 4–7, 2026) carries 424 picks: see it.

What actually happens to it

The board is hand-curated. A person picks every item and ranks it against everything else happening that weekend; nothing is published automatically, and there is no payment, sponsorship or exchange that puts an event on it. Most weeks the board runs a few hundred picks, and far more events are collected and considered than are published.

A submission is a candidate, not a listing. Sending one does not get your event on the board, and we cannot promise that anyone will write back. What it does do is put the event in front of the person doing the picking, with your own facts rather than a scraped guess.

What we can list

Send it as far ahead as you can: the board for a weekend is usually built the week before, and future weekends are built ahead of that.

Send it

As you would write it: a single date, a run of dates, or a recurring pattern.

Required. The date, time, place and price we print are read off the source, so with no page to open there is nothing to check and the event will not be listed.

One sentence, plainly. Not a press release.

Used to ask a question about this event. It is not added to any mailing list.

Something that does not fit this form — a correction to a listing, a venue with a season of dates, a press contact — goes to bryan@stumblday.com. Published board data is reusable under CC BY 4.0.

FAQ

Does submitting an event get it on the board?

No. A submission is a candidate. The board is hand-curated and a person decides what runs, ranked against everything else happening that weekend. Most submissions will not be listed.

Why is the link to the official listing required?

Every pick on the board carries a source link, and the date, time, place and price shown are read off it. With no public page to open, there is nothing to check the details against, so the event will not be listed.

Can I pay to be listed?

No. There is no paid placement, sponsorship or exchange of any kind on the board.

How far ahead should I send an event?

As far ahead as you can. A weekend's board is usually built the week before, and future weekend boards are built ahead of that, so a late submission may arrive after the board it belongs on is finished.

Will someone reply?

Every submission is read, but a reply is not promised. If you need an answer, email bryan@stumblday.com.

What kinds of events are listed?

Things happening in New York City that the public can attend, on set dates, with a public listing page. The live board at https://stumblday.com/things-to-do/nyc is the best picture of what makes it.
