DVP’s restaurant committee decided on the theme, “20 under $20,” or 20 restaurants offering a special deal that features local fare for $20 or less.
“Agriculture is and has always been at the heart of Ventura and this event helps celebrate the efforts of our local restaurants to feature local ingredients in their yummy creations. Whether you get out and try something new or take comfort in an all-time favorite, take pride in supporting this delicious community event,” said Visit Ventura President & CEO Marlyss Auster.
