TN Main Street Restaurant Week
October 5-11, 2026

Proof Incubator and TNECD are bringing the first-ever Tennessee Restaurant Week to Main Street communities statewide, and Downtown Jackson is joining the fun.

For one week, our local restaurants are spotlighting their favorite dishes and specials all in one place. Make plans to dine downtown and support the local businesses that make our community special.
