An event to celebrate restaurants in the region – the 2024 QC Restaurant Week – begins today and runs April 8-14.
This marks the 12th year the event has been held. The event, sponsored by Visit Quad Cities, is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the local hospitality industry while providing a distinctive experience for both visitors and Quad Cities residents.
“QC Restaurant Week is one of the best weeks of the year as we celebrate our diverse Quad Cities culinary scene,” Dave Herrell, president and CEO of Visit Quad Cities, said in a news release. “Restaurants are vitally important small businesses that bring people together and amplify our regional tourism product. We strongly encourage Quad Citizens and visitors to participate and explore all things food in the area, because a positive visitor experience is closely connected to the success of our local restaurants.”
Restaurants are invited to participate in QC Restaurant Week by registering between Feb. 1 and March 1. Participation is free; both dine-in and carryout establishments are welcome to join.
Details and online registration are available on the QC Restaurant Week website at www.qcrestaurantweek.com.
A highlight of QC Restaurant Week is the “Surprise a Server” program, which is designed to recognize outstanding individuals in the local restaurant industry.
In 2023, nearly 500 nominations were received from the public, resulting in the selection of five exceptional nominees honored for their exemplary customer service. The program will return in 2024, continuing to shine a spotlight on those who go above and beyond.
