Lufkin Bistro 2026 Restaurant Participation Registration

Lufkin's Bistro 2026 Restaurant Registration
Join us on October 03
Lufkin's Bistro returns Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Downtown Lufkin, and we are inviting local restaurants to be part of one of the city’s favorite annual traditions.
For more than 16 years, Bistro has brought people together for an evening of local food, drinks, live music, dancing, and community connection. Guests gather around tables under the stars to sample dishes, discover new favorites, and enjoy a night that continues to grow year after year.
We would love for your restaurant to join us.
Participating restaurants provide sample-size portions for Bistro guests. There is no participation fee for restaurants, and this is a great opportunity to put your food in front of an engaged adult audience that is ready to taste, talk, share, and remember the restaurants that made the night special.
As a participating restaurant, your business may receive visibility through Visit Lufkin marketing before, during, and after the event, including social media promotion, logo placement, event materials, the online itinerary planner, and Bistro-related features when available.

What Participating Restaurants Provide
Restaurants are asked to bring sample-size portions of a featured dish for Bistro guests, along with any serving supplies, staff, signage, and setup materials needed for their station.

Why Participate
Bistro gives your restaurant direct exposure to a large adult audience in a high-energy downtown setting. Guests come ready to enjoy the evening, try new food, and connect with the businesses that help make Lufkin special.
A sample can become a future meal, a catering conversation, a social media tag, a recommendation, or a new loyal customer. More importantly, it shows the community that your restaurant is part of the experience that makes Lufkin worth gathering for.
