Downtown Manassas kicked off their February First Friday with their “Manassas Souper Bowl” – a soup sampling contest offered by Historic Manassas Inc., and downtown partnering restaurants.
Residents had the chance to take part in the soup sampling by purchasing a $5 wristband. This allowed them to roam the streets of Downtown Manassas, visiting the seven locations that were participating to try a sample of their soup.
Participants got the chance to vote for their favorites, and the winning restaurant of the soup sampling event will be announced tomorrow at 4p.m.
