As winter begins to give way to spring, there’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup to chase away those post-holiday blues! Our Annual Soup Cook-Off, now celebrating its 37th year, is a beloved community tradition and one of our biggest fundraisers supporting the preservation of the historic Carmelite Monastery & Sisters of Mercy Academy.
Each year, local community organizations, businesses, families, and individuals bring their best pot of soup for a little friendly competition. Guests can stroll from table to table, sample each delicious creation, and cast their vote for their favorites. Prizes are awarded for Best-Tasting Soup and Best-Decorated Table, making for a fun and festive competition for everyone.
We’re still planning this year’s event, so more details will be announced as we get closer! Whether you’re a home chef looking to show off your favorite recipe, a local business wanting to connect with the community, or simply someone who loves good soup and good company, we’d love to have you join us.
Come hungry, bring your family, and help us continue this special tradition while supporting the preservation of 1884 Plaza.
