Fairfield Schedules Cultural Events During Restaurant Week
In addition to dinner and shopping deals, numerous community events will take place during Restaurant Week.
Fairfield has partnered with a number of businesses, community groups and organizations to conduct a variety of cultural events and other activities throughout town during Restaurant Week running from Oct. 13 – Oct. 19.
“Restaurant Week is just one more opportunity to highlight the many events and activities that our local organizations and businesses conduct throughout the year,” said First Selectman Mike Tetreau. “What better time than next week to experience these enjoyable and educational experiences that our community groups put so much time and effort into for the public.”
"We wanted to highlight things to do in town, as well as places to eat, to create more of a 'night out' experience,” said Fairfield Community and Economic Director Mark Barnhart. "The town appreciates the support of our community partners for featuring a spectacular array of events and activities in conjunction with Restaurant Week."
