Usually held bi-annually, what has become a free event entices those interested in living downtown an opportunity to see why over 12,000 call downtown home!
Downtown Restaurant Week
Each summer the Downtown CID partners with Synergy Productions to host the Annual Downtown Restaurant Week. This year’s event will be held August 23-28, 2010. Over 15,000 people took part in last year’s restaurant week where 25 of downtown's finest dining establishments offered a special dining promotion of three-course dinners for a fixed price of $25 per person, plus tip and tax. There are no passes to buy, coupons to carry or cards to punch. Patrons simply attend the participating restaurant of their choice to enjoy the promotion.
