Visit Quad Cities is seeking restaurants to take part in 2023’s QC Restaurant Week, which returns to the bistate on March 20-26.
The week offers visitors and Quad Citizens a chance to experience some of the region’s many restaurants, the region’s destination marketing organization announced recently.
“QC Restaurant Week is one of the highlights of the year as we come together to celebrate our culinary vibe,” Visit Quad Cities President and CEO Dave Herrell said. “Restaurants are important small businesses that bring visitors and Quad Citizens together and help showcase our regional destination’s tourism product. We encourage our residents to go try that new spot or visit that place you haven’t been to in a while. Our visitor experience is closely tied to the success of our local restaurants, so they need our support. This is a fun week for foodies.”
Restaurant participation in this event is free of charge, and there are no special price points or menu requirements. The deadline for restaurants to register is March 1. Details and online registration are available on the QC Restaurant Week website here. The opportunity is available for all restaurants, including dine-in and carryout.
Visit Quad Cities also encourages food lovers to explore the website and check back frequently, as new restaurants continue to be added.
In addition to supporting local restaurants, locals also have a chance to win local restaurant gift cards. Visit one of the participating restaurants between March 20-26, then go to the website to fill out the entry form and include a picture of your receipt, a selfie at the restaurant, or posing with your carryout meal.
Mr. Herrell added that small businesses are a key part of the Quad Cities’ local economy, and our QC identity includes our local restaurants to help set us apart from other destinations. QC Restaurant Week is your chance to expand your taste buds by trying new things from participating businesses and to continue to eat locally to support our vibrant culinary community, he said.
