Savor Stark Restaurant Month, March 1-30, 2025, will feature the tastes of Stark County's local restaurants, wineries, breweries, and culinary experiences for foodies!

Become a Participating Restaurant: All restaurant month offers are due on January 17th. 

Restaurants, create offers for participants to indulge in special prix fixe menus at a set-price with our "Three for $25," "Three for $35," or "Three for $45" format. This is a great opportunity to celebrate your culinary expertise, highlight creative dishes, and showcase the diverse food scene our communities have to offer!

The more creative, deal-worthy, and exclusive your Restaurant Month special is, the more enticing it will be for guests.

The ITI Digital platform will also push Google Business Profile updates (hours, phone, etc.) to our team. The Visit Canton staff will use those notifications to manually update your VisitCanton.com Profile.
