March 2021
Restaurant Week: March 14th-21st

We are excited to be partnering again with Heart of Biddeford and Saco Main St. on Restaurant Week, taking place all next week. Winter is a tough season in Maine for restaurants, and the pandemic has made it especially challenging this year for the restaurant industry, so we're hoping that a focused week of awareness-building and promotional activity will be a win-win: delicious meal solutions for residents, and much-needed business for our local restaurants.

This year, we think you'll love discovering new things about the food and beverage scene in Biddeford and Saco -- while playing a game! Just download the Eventzee App (free), and enter the event code RW2021. It will be 'live' from March 14th-21st. You'll answer trivia questions, explore new hot spots, go on a treasure hunt, and post photos! Compete with friends and try to get the most points on the Leaderboard. Gift Certificates will be awarded at the end of the week for the highest point getters, plus some prizes for random winners. Purchases are not necessary to play or win. Look on social media as well all week for specials and other opportunities. Bon appetit!
