MARQUETTE As large public gatherings for the coming year remain uncertain, the Marquette Downtown Development Authority plans to move forward with its traditional lineup of spring and summer events, with modifications to protect the public and event vendors from contracting COVID-19.
Restaurant Week is the first event, slated to take place April 11-17, providing a great opportunity to support downtown restaurants in turbulent times. Restaurants that would like to participate in the weeklong event can register through March 17. Although restaurants are allowed to open at 25% capacity, the DDA strongly encourages ordering takeout during Restaurant Week. A complete lineup of participating restaurants and menus for Restaurant Week will be released in late March.

MARQUETTE A social media challenge is encouraging Marquette residents to shop local.
The Downtown Dining Challenge, first launched by the Marquette Downtown Development Authority, is challenging people to support local bars and restaurants.
According to the Marquette City Mayor, helping each other during a time of need is nothing new to the area.
“We really come together when we need to,” said Mayor Jenna Smith. “This is a time when we really do need the community to step up and help each other out. It’s something that’s easy to do, it’s obviously delicious. We’ve got a lot of great restaurants downtown that have a variety of food. It’s certainly something that folks are willing to step up and support, and I would encourage folks to do so.”
