The Southern Lehigh Chamber would like to invite you to participate in and support our annual Southern Lehigh Restaurant Week, taking place from April 25th through May 1st, 2021.

2020 was a hard year for everyone but the restaurant industry took an especially hard hit with mandates limiting capacity. Each year the Chamber of Commerce hosts various Restaurant Weeks throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley. This year, more than ever, we are looking for the support of our business community to rally together to support restaurants in our area through Southern Lehigh Restaurant Week. This event brings awareness, exposure, foot traffic, and energy to our local restaurants while we advertise on their behalf, driving new and returning business back through their doors OR to purchase takeout and curbside to-go options.

Whether you're a restaurant who wants to participate in Restaurant Week or you're a local business who wants to sponsor the initiative, please reach out to AshleyL@LehighValleyChamber.org or (610) 739-1273 for more information!
