If you run a restaurant, this is a simple way to drive traffic during a slower season. People are looking for somewhere new to go. This puts you on their list.
If you’re a business, it’s a visible way to show up in the community and be part of something people actually engage with.
Since relaunching in 2024, 60+ restaurants have helped raise over $55,000, providing 110,000 meals across Alaska.
For Restaurants
Most restaurants do one of a few things:
-
Donate a percentage of a dish or category
-
Offer a prix fixe menu
-
Run a simple promotion tied to the week
Some past examples:
-
A bakery donated 10% of all sales
-
A brewery featured a specific item and gave a portion of proceeds
-
Several restaurants offered prix fixe menus
-
Others picked one item and tied a small dollar amount to each order
During Restaurant Week, people show up differently. They try new places, bring friends, and come in with a reason to choose you.
We handle the promotion, including social, email, media, and community outreach. You’ll also get a simple toolkit so everything is easy to implement in-house.
Early Registration Perk
Sign up by June 30 and receive exclusive Anchorage Restaurant Week swag, plus early promotion across our website and social channels.
If you’re in, sign up here we’ll make it easy to get set up.
Restaurant Sign Up Form
Priority registration deadline: August 1 for full marketing inclusion.
Late sign-ups may be accepted with limited promotion.
For Sponsors
Anchorage Restaurant Week brings together food, community, and visibility. People pay attention. They show up. They talk about it.
As a sponsor, your brand is part of that. You’ll be featured across campaign materials, digital promotion, and outreach alongside restaurants people already know and trust.
More importantly, your support helps expand food access across Alaska. Every dollar raised moves food through a statewide network reaching communities across the state.

For Content Creators
Anchorage Restaurant Week is a chance to explore the city’s food scene while being part of something bigger. We’re inviting a small group of local creators to help spotlight participating restaurants and drive people to dine out during the week.
You’ll get:
- Early access to participating restaurants
- Featured content opportunities
- Visibility through Anchorage Restaurant Week and Food Bank of Alaska channels
In return, we’re looking for authentic coverage throughout the week. Real experiences. Real recommendations.
Applications open soon.
Why This Exists
Food insecurity in Alaska is real.
1 in 7 Alaskans is experiencing hunger, including kids, seniors, and working families.
Anchorage Restaurant Week connects our local food scene to that reality in a way people actually engage with.
People are already dining out. This makes that decision matter.
