PARTICIPATION LEVELS

Across the country, Restaurant Weeks are a delicious tradition—limited-time events where local spots serve up special multi-course menus, often at a great value, to attract new guests and get regulars to try something new. It’s a win-win: diners explore fresh flavors and new favorites, and restaurants enjoy a boost in visibility and foot traffic.

Longmont Restaurant Week is our own flavor-packed take on that celebration—10 days in October dedicated to highlighting the creativity, culture, and community that make our food scene stand out. From fine dining to food trucks, it's all about bringing people to the table and giving them a reason to fall in love with Longmont’s local eats.

You're what makes Longmont delicious.

We want to shine a light on the incredible dishes, creativity, and care you bring to the table. Longmont Restaurant Week is all about celebrating restaurants like yours with a concentrated marketing push designed to bring diners through your doors. We’re talking featured spots on our website, targeted social media campaigns, print ads, local press coverage, and buzz-building events—all working together to get people excited and hungry for what you're serving.

For participating restaurants, it’s a chance to boost visibility, attract new faces, and give regulars a reason to come back for more. Whether you're looking to test a new menu, increase revenue during a slower season, or build deeper roots in the local dining scene, Restaurant Week is your moment to shine.

We know every restaurant is different, which is why we have multiple ways for you to opt in!

Level 1: You want to stand out.

If you’ve got a beautiful space, a killer 3-course menu, and you're looking to make a big impression, this is the level for you. Think of it as your chance to reach new customers and remind regulars why they love you. You'll get a featured listing on the homepage, a dedicated menu page with a custom write-up about your restaurant, and individual social media posts that show off what makes your place special.

Level 2: You want to be part of the momentum.

This level is all about showing up and joining the city-wide buzz! While you won’t get the full spotlight treatment like level 1, you will get a dedicated menu page on the website and group social media mentions to let people know you're participating. You’ll still need to offer a 3-course menu, but this tier is perfect to stay involved and attract customers without the full marketing feature.

Level 3: You need more flexibility. This is ideal for food businesses that can’t offer a fixed menu or won’t be open every day, like bakeries, breweries, coffee shops, or specialty spots. You’ll still be included on the website and in our marketing, without the pressure of staying open outside of your normal hours or stretching to come up with a full menu. You will get a photo listing with a link to your website where you can share your special.
