Downtown Joplin Alliance Announces the Return of Restaurant Week on October 3, 2026

(Joplin, MO) – It’s time to eat, drink and Fall in Love with Local all over again! Downtown Joplin Alliance’s Restaurant Week is coming back to downtown Joplin this autumn and it’s the perfect season to revisit your classic favorites and discover new foodie obsessions.

Happening October 3–10, 2026, this event will highlight the amazing food, drinks, and experiences you can only find downtown. Thanks to ALLO Fiber for making it all possible.

Expect to see our eateries (and…drinkeries!) pull out all the stops (three-course prix fixe meals, a limited-time drinks, super-duper creative menu items, etc…). We have everything from the Nuclear Sensation cocktail at Hackett’s, to The Construction Zone Cubano at Union Station Deli, to tasting flights of ice cream and craft soda at Briley’s (six varieties each)! And many yummy surprises to come!
