Transform Taste of Richmond into week-long Restaurant Week with $10,000 city support
In Plain English
The annual Taste of Richmond has been a single-day event where restaurants provide free food but pay their own costs without compensation. Rising post-pandemic expenses make this unsustainable for small businesses. The new week-long format spreads events across multiple restaurants with comprehensive marketing and community activities to drive lasting economic benefits.
