Occoquan Event Highlights

Occoquan businesses may now have their event(s) highlighted through the printed Visitor's Guide, visitoccoquanva.com monthly event blog post, and on @visitoccoquan social media. The highlight benefits include:

• PRINTED VISITOR'S GUIDE: Yellow highlighted box behind the event listing, in the Fall 2026 issue of the Occoquan Visitor's Guide.
• WEBSITE BLOG: Visit produces an article regarding upcoming events for each month on visitoccoquanva.com. Highlighted events will be listed as the first or second event listing (in date order) and will have one (1) image included with that listing.
• SOCIAL MEDIA: One social media post about the event on Instagram, Facebook & Threads. Up to 4 photos may be provided by the business (no graphics - photo only). Post will tag and add business as collaborator (Instagram) and go out roughly 2-4 weeks prior to the event to our 25,000+ followers.

Businesses may only purchase a total of 2 highlights, per 4-month Visitor Guide cycle. Ideally these would be in different months, but we will make exceptions to that rule depending on the event.

NOTE: You must submit your event to the calendar (FREE!) via this link before August 7, 2026: visitoccoquanva.com/eventsubmissions
