MANASSAS — (Press Release) The fifth annual Souper Bowl will be held on Friday, February 1, from 6 to 9 p.m in Downtown Manassas.
This year, 23 locations will feature soups, ranging from chili to gumbo and more. Tickets can be purchased for $10 cash ($11 card) at Aroma Wine Tasting, Sinistral Brewing Co. or The Manassas Museum and will entitle attendees to unlimited soup samplings.
Once you have sampled the wide assortment of soup, you’ll be asked to vote for your favorite to crown the winning restaurant “Souper Bowl Champion.”
Last year, Philadelphia Tavern, took home the crown with their Shrimp & Crab Bisque. Coming in a close second was Lil’ Bowl Thai & Japanese Cuisine with their spicy coconut Tom Kha soup.
February launches the first First Friday of 2019. Souper Bowl is a great kick off for the year and gets the community excited about what is to come for future First Fridays. Street closures for First Friday will begin in April with a “Game of Thrones” themed event and run through October to allow pedestrian traffic in the streets.
The event is a great way for people to get a little sample of what each restaurant has to offer. A list of participating merchants and restaurants for Souper Bowl can be found at visitmanassas.org. This event will be held rain, snow or shine.
While touring the Visit Manassas website, you can sign up for a $25 membership with Historic Manassas Inc. Memberships entitle cardholders to a discount at your favorite downtown restaurant and shops.
