Dine Downtown: Food & Drink Week drew residents, visitors, and media attention to our incredible local restaurants. With curated menus, BOGO deals, and the debut of Sol Food Tours, the campaign energized our district and spotlighted the diversity of downtown dining.

From refreshing cocktails to signature dishes, it was a week of unforgettable dining and community connection in the heart of downtown.

The celebration may be over, but the flavors live on.
