Eat Local. Give Local. is a one-day community-wide fundraiser celebrating the local food and beverage businesses that help make Dane County thrive.
On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, participating restaurants, cafés, bars, and other locally owned spots across Dane County will donate 10% of the day’s sales to Dane Buy Local.
When you spend local, more of your money stays local — helping strengthen our economy, support small businesses, and invest in the community we all share.
Community members can join in by dining in, ordering takeout, or choosing delivery. Dane Buy Local will promote participating businesses all day long, making it easy to eat well and give back.
It’s simple: eat local, support local, and give local.

Eat Local. Give Local. is made possible with support from Erawatech, Marketini Media, Mumm Creative, and Maize.
Dane Buy Local is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting locally owned businesses through advocacy, education, and collaboration.
