Good afternoon Downtown Marquette restaurateurs,

The Marquette DDA has made a few changes to the way we will be conducting and promoting some of our food related event. The Noquemanon Pasta Special promotion and Restaurant Week will now be open to all food-related establishments located within Downtown Marquette. There is no charge to participate in these upcoming events, however, I ask that if you are interested in participating to fill out the registration forms in a timely manner so that we can promote these great events.

Noquemanon Pasta Specials- Friday, January 24. The Marquette DDA has been asked again to promote a traditional pasta-based special for Noquemanon Skiers on the evening of Friday, January 24, so that racers can carb-up for the race on Saturday, January 25. The Marquette DDA will be representing Downtown Marquette at the registration expo, directing folks from out of town to different restaurants. We will be highlighting those restaurants who are participating with pasta specials that night. How to participate: Fill out the Noquemanon Pasta Specials Form and return it to me no later than 12 p.m. (noon) on Tuesday, January 21. Please include a name of the pasta special or dish, a brief description, price point, and if anything else is included (bread sticks, salads, dessert, beverage, etc.). If reservations are recommended, please indicate that as well. These specials will be included on an advertisement given to each of the 1,500 or so registered Noquemanon Skiers. This is something that has been done for several years now, and it is a great way to direct hungry skiers to one of our great downtown establishments.

Marquette Restaurant Week- Restaurant Week will take place March 1-8. It is a highly anticipated week for both locals and tourists. This week is a week to showcase what your restaurant does well, highlight new and exciting entrees, or gives restaurants the opportunity to put a new twist on a signature favorite. Participants are encouraged to offer $10-15 lunches and $25-$30 dinners for that entire week. To participate, download the Marquette Restaurant Week Form, which is respectfully requested to be returned and completed no later than Friday, February 21 at 5 p.m. Please include a name of each lunch and dinner special or dish, a brief description, price point, and if anything else is included (sides, dessert, beverage, etc.). Restaurants are welcome to have multiple offering for lunch and dinner, if desired. If reservations are recommended, please indicate that as well.

The Marquette DDA looks forward to continuing to support and promote all food establishments in Downtown Marquette. We appreciate all that your businesses have done for the community and look forward to a great 2020. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or ideas you may have regarding these.


Sincerely,

Promotions and Events Coordinator
