Visit Fort Wayne hosted one of our most popular events, Savor Fort Wayne, this August to support our local restaurant community. Typically, Savor Fort Wayne occurs in January, but we were able to host a first ever summer edition August 5-16.
Thirty-one participating restaurants offered special 3-course menus that were a deal to diners. Summer Savor offered diners new options to enjoy like patio dining and carry out, while still providing 12 days of delicious deals.
We thank our restaurants, sponsors, and local community for supporting Summer Savor Fort Wayne.
Mark your calendars - Savor Fort Wayne returns January 13-24, 2021!
