City council economic sustainability and tourism programmes manager Halina Davies said: "Major events such as the Christmas Market and Waddington Air Show have established Lincoln firmly on the tourism map.
"But it is important that we make people aware of the vast range of events and attractions the city has to offer and these signs are an effective way of highlighting those to thousands of people each day.
"Lincoln has something for everyone whether you are interested in history, culture, sport or the arts and attracting more visitors can play a vital part in helping the local economy."
Visit Lincoln manager Emma Tatlow said: "On a key gateway into the city these signs are a really useful tool to inform visitors, residents and people travelling into the city.
"Hopefully they will inspire people to come back and give them a flavour of the variety of events in the city.
"Lincoln attracts 3 million tourists a year and the visitor economy is a really important sector that we are collectively looking to grow by marketing and promoting."
Next month's 10k Road Race and the Grand Prix Cycle Race in May are now established dates on the sporting calendar.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the Waddington Air Show and Christmas Market year after year while the Discover Lincolnshire Weekend on 16-17 March and October's Lincoln Sausage Festival will give people the chance to explore other aspects of the area's heritage.

“Not much use if you don't have time to pull into the carpark in front of the grandstand and get out to read the signs as you've no chance of reading is as you drive by. And, of course, no use to anyone who doesn't use the A57 Carholme Road to get in and out of Lincoln!”
