Be part of this BUY LOCAL promotion with Dane Buy Local, fellow local businesses, and our community for EAT LOCAL. GIVE LOCAL. 2026. This is a one-day promotional event that drives customers to your business while supporting our local economy. Local food businesses are powerful economic drivers — 60.7% of every dollar spent on food and drink stays in our community, strengthening neighborhoods and supporting a more resilient local economy.

On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, participating restaurants, cafés, bars, and other local establishments will donate 10% of the day’s sales back to Dane Buy Local.

Community members can take part by dining in, ordering curbside pickup, or choosing delivery. Dane Buy Local will support participating businesses with a full marketing campaign to help drive customers through their doors. It’s simple: choose local, eat well, and give back.

Participants: Marigold Kitchen, Windsor Breads & Bakery Coffeehouse, Mother Fool's Coffeehouse, CottageRose Coffee, Pink Flamingo Brunch Cafe, Kingdom African Restaurant, The Walking Jerk, Nar Turkish Restaurant, State Line Distillery, Sal's Tomato Pies (Madison, Monona, Sun Prairie). Sponsored by Maize.

We’re building strong momentum, and we don’t want you to miss out on the visibility and traffic this event generates. Dane Buy Local will be leading a full-scale marketing push, including 100+ radio spots on Magic 98 and 106.7 – The Resistance, TV, print, and social media — all aimed at driving diners to participating businesses.
