Overview Downtown Delray Restaurant Month runs every day of September across Delray Beach's downtown, with restaurants, cafes and ice cream shops posting prix fixe menus, happy hours and deals all on one free mobile pass. In 2026 more than 50 took part, from Akira Back, Bourbon Steak and Le Colonial to Death By Pizza and Silverball Retro Arcade. The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) produces it. The DDA markets the downtown, funds its Safety Ambassador and Beachkeepers litter programs, advises the City Commission on development and puts on more than 20 events a year, including Savor the Avenue, a four-course dinner served at a five-block table down the middle of Atlantic Avenue. On site There is no gate and no single venue: the month happens in the dining rooms along Atlantic Avenue and the surrounding blocks. Diners sign up for the pass, browse every offer in one place, redeem deals from their phones and check in at restaurants to earn points toward gift cards. In 2026 the offers ran from 15 to 50 percent off and buy-one-get-one deals to happy hours at Johnnie Brown's, Kapow Noodle Bar and El Camino, plus a handful of ticketed nights: wine pairing dinners at Brule Gastro-Kitchen and Rose's Daughter and a chef's tasting at Akira Back. Brand presence Restaurant Month is sold inside the DDA's annual partnership program. Event-level partners get their logo on the month-long TV commercial buy and on the mobile pass, and the top tiers carry a name across every DDA program, from Restaurant Month and Savor the Avenue to the three Art and Jazz on the Avenue nights and all twelve First Friday Art Walks. Partner packages add the DDA's own media: a page in the Dining and Shopping Guide, printed in runs of 25,000 and handed out at Florida Visitor Centers, downtown hotels and events, a spot in the weekly Weekend Roundup email, and social videos the DDA team shoots on the partner's business.
