Food lovers, mark your calendars: Downtown South Bend’s popular Restaurant Weeks are back from July 25 through August 10, offering two full weeks of special menus, unique cocktails, and exclusive pricing at locally owned restaurants.

With offerings ranging from brunch to dinner and late-night bites, diners can enjoy a variety of creative dishes and drinks designed to showcase the best of South Bend’s culinary scene. Participating restaurants will post menus as they become available, encouraging patrons to check back often.

In addition to supporting local businesses, Restaurant Weeks also benefit a local cause. Approximately 10% of proceeds will be donated to Beacon Children’s Hospital to help provide care for critically ill and injured children in the region.

Guests can also participate in the Restaurant Weeks Cocktail Contest, where local mixologists will showcase their signature drinks. Voters will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 gift card to a Downtown South Bend restaurant of their choice.
