Lexington Restaurant Week 2021

LEXINGTON, KY (WTVQ) – Lexington Restaurant Week® organizers announced Tuesday its 11-night return July 22 – August 1, 2021.

Organizers said, the event, held since 2013, promotes fixed-price limited-time specials at restaurants in the Lexington area during the celebration.

Up to 60 restaurants are expected to participate in the event, which drives some of the highest volume nights of the year for the businesses while allowing diners to sample a range of culinary options at set prices of $19, $29 and $39, according to orginizers.

The event paused its annual schedule in 2020 due to COVID, and while restaurants are not back to full capacity yet with challenges remaining on hiring and many other fronts, Connie Jo Miller, event orchestrator is optimistic, “these hard working, enterprising restaurateurs are climbing back – with a little more time and a lot of us encouraging vaccinations, we hope to hit the Governor’s goal of 2.5 million vaccinated by late summer – I believe our restaurants will be ready for a big celebration by our start date of July 22^nd”.

“Lexington will surely rejoice in the return to old favorites and new venues alike as nothing creates the community local restaurants provide.  Lexington Restaurant Week® gives us an excellent opportunity to venture out, try new places, sample creative specials and show support” Miller added.

Restaurant sign-up officially began this week at LexingtonRestaurantWeek.com.
