Supporting Local, One Taco at a Time: Columbus Taco Week
what’s Taco Week
Columbus Taco Week was launched in 2020 during the pandemic to support struggling restaurant and service industry workers affected by COVID-19. By offering $2 taco specials, the event aimed to attract customers to local eateries and boost sales. Additionally, a donation was made to the Ohio Restaurant Association Employee Relief Fund, an emergency fund for Columbus’ personnel in the food service industry who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The success of the first Taco Week led to its annual continuation, becoming a highly anticipated event in Columbus that draws thousands of local taco lovers. Participating in Taco Week not only satisfies your taste buds but also supports the local community and helps small businesses thrive.
