Dine Naperville is thrilled to launch AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) Celebration Week in Naperville! Dine Naperville is hosting the event May 16 – May 25, as we continue to promote the depth and breadth of our dynamic restaurants. This week will showcase the diverse and delicious flavors of Asian cuisine in our city. Join us in the fun by experiencing the vibrant culinary traditions of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
Members of the entire Naperville restaurant community are invited to offer special prix-fixe menus that focus on Asian flavors, highlight unique AAPI-inspired dishes, or offer exclusive daily discounts. It is the perfect time to bring people together over a meal, a time-honored way to build relationships, strengthen bonds, and honor culture. For diners, this is a week to experience a new Asian-inspired dish or cocktail right here in Naperville.
This new AAPI Celebration Week comes on the heels of another very successful initiative by Dine Naperville, 2025 Restaurant Week, which saw record participation and increased dining traffic across the board. To keep that momentum going, Naperville is following a trend started in Chicago four years ago by hosting an AAPI-focused week to highlight the expansive offerings of Naperville’s 85+ Asian/Indian restaurants.
Monica Conners, President of the Naperville Development Partnership and Convention & Visitors Bureau, says “We are thrilled to be able to collaborate with our restaurant partners to showcase Naperville’s culinary talent. We have a significant Asian population in Naperville, and AAPI Celebration Week is a great opportunity to celebrate Naperville restaurants and for the community to experience the diverse array of cuisines that make Naperville an exceptional place to live or visit.“
