Explore Holyoke Restaurant Week 2022
The Holyoke Office of Planning & Economic Development (OPED), in collaboration with Holyoke Community College (HCC), Greater Holyoke Chamber, and Glammoré Premier Events, is happy to announce an exciting cultural event called Explore Holyoke Restaurant Week (EHRW). Building off the 2019 Holyoke Tourism Plan, OPED has been working with a large tourism stakeholders’ group to move forward on strategic tourism initiatives and promote local business.
The Explore Holyoke Restaurant Week event is scheduled for Monday, June 6th to Sunday, June 12th. The EHRW event will allow local restaurants to showcase their menu options and increase local and out-of-area visitors. This will be a 7-day celebratory festival kicking off with food demonstrations from our diverse local restaurateurs highlighting the art and science of cooking.
Please see food demonstration schedule below:
- Monday 6/6: CRAVE Holyoke – Arancini Balls
- Tuesday 6/7: Dino’s Pizza – Chicken 65 and Chicken Tikka Masala
- Wednesday 6/8: Los Muñaños – Mofongo
- Thursday 6/9: Khi and Eli’s – Special Meatloaf
- Saturday 6/11: Top Flight Nutrition – Tea Party Demo

Participants will have the opportunity to track their food journey with a “food passport” that lists all participating restaurants. After visiting a participating EHRW restaurant, the participant will obtain a stamp to confirm their visit. At the end of EHRW, the passports will be utilized as a coupon, and the number of stamps obtained during EHRW will correspond to a discount that can be applied after EHRW. If you participate, please see the discount levels below:
Please note the coupon is good for one visit and is for food only
- 3 – 15%
- 5 – 20%
- 7 – 25%
- 10 – 30%
- 12 – 35%
- 15 – 40%
- 17 or more – 50%
Within the upcoming weeks, restaurants participating in level 1 should plan to coordinate any special meals or plans for the week and will be provided passports and stamps.
Please note, when a customer spends more than $10 in your restaurant dining in, you will stamp their passport. Discounts will be used one time only after EHRW and will be valid for 3 months after the event.
You can pick up your passport at any participant restaurant or use the link below to download and print out.
