Annual URA Industry Awards Gala

April 28 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

The Annual Utah Restaurant Association Restaurant Industry Awards Gala, held in collaboration with the Utah ProStart Student Awards, is a celebration of excellence across Utah’s restaurant, food, and hospitality community; today’s leaders and tomorrow’s rising stars alike.

This special evening honors the individuals and organizations who make Utah dining exceptional, while also recognizing the next generation of passionate restaurant professionals entering the industry. Together, we celebrate innovation, dedication, and the shared commitment that fuels our vibrant hospitality community.

Awards are peer-nominated, meaning nominees are put forward by fellow industry professionals—those who truly understand the work, the challenges, and the wins. Nominations are open to all members of the industry (URA membership is not required, though always appreciated). From quick service and fast-casual to casual dining and fine dining, every segment of the industry has a seat at the table and a reason to be celebrated.

The Utah Restaurant Association is committed to making Utah dining a destination. The URA gala brings together colleagues from every corner of the industry and community to celebrate one another and honor the collective contributions that strengthen us all. We proudly embrace the belief that a rising tide lifts all ships and that there is a place for everyone at our table. We relish the opportunity to recognize everyone who contributes to making our industry better and brighter.

Held each spring in April or May, the Awards Gala is one of the most anticipated restaurant industry events of the year and typically sells out. Nominations for this year’s awards are now open. Please find the nomination form here.

A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available, including Presenting, Gold, Silver, and Table Sponsorships. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact us at info@utahrestaurantassociation.org.

Tickets may be purchased individually or as a table sponsorship below. Once your purchase is complete, our team will reach out to collect your company logo. For larger parties wishing to be seated together, we recommend purchasing a table sponsorship; however, we will do our best to accommodate seating requests whenever possible.

When purchasing tickets, please be sure to note any dietary restrictions. We look forward to celebrating your hard work, creativity, and contributions in spring 2026. Time, date, and location coming soon.
