As DFW Restaurant Week approaches, 43 of Tarrant County’s premier dining establishments are preparing for a significant event, marking the 30th anniversary of this culinary celebration. A noteworthy aspect of this initiative is that 20% of each meal purchased at participating restaurants will go towards Lena Pope, a 96-year-old nonprofit organization in Fort Worth that focuses on bolstering children and families through various support programs.
The month-long event will kick off on Monday, August 10, and continue through Labor Day, September 7, following a special Preview Weekend from August 6-9. For more information about DFW Restaurant Week, visit DFWRestaurantWeek.com and follow their social media channels for updates.
