Fairfield, CT - Fairfield First Selectwoman Brenda L. Kupchick has announced that the popular Fairfield Restaurant Week will make its return on Monday, October 25th and run through Sunday, November 7th. Bankwell will again serve as lead sponsor of Fairfield Restaurant Week, now in its tenth year.
More than two dozen restaurants are expected to participate in this year’s event with special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus showcasing their finest culinary offerings.
First Selectwoman Kupchick said, “Fairfield is pleased to host this town-wide event, which has quickly become an annual tradition, celebrating Fairfield’s wide variety of quality restaurants. Restaurant Week gives the public the opportunity to continue visiting favorite places or frequent ones they may not yet know about. This event is another way the Town can show its support for our local businesses, help our local economy and provide people with an enjoyable dining out experience.”
“It’s been a rough go these past eighteen months for many small businesses, particularly restaurants. We hope that residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy and support the many restaurants that Fairfield has to offer, while also being conscience of the continued difficulties faced by these businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Mark Barnhart, Fairfield’s Director of Community & Economic Development. This year’s event is slated to run two full weeks, giving patrons more time to visit their favorite eating establishments.
Bankwell Senior Vice-President Robert Palermo said, “We are excited to again take part in this community event, and I look forward--like everyone else--to sampling the best that Fairfield restaurants have to offer.”
First Selectwoman Kupchick added, “We are very appreciative of Bankwell’s continued support of Fairfield Restaurant Week.”
