Downtown Erie is about to get a little warmer - and a lot tastier. Glass Growers Gallery, The Dollhouse at Pointe Foure Vintage Boutique, and Copper Carriage, in collaboration with The Erie Downtown Partnership (EDP),  will host the inaugural Autumn Soup Stroll - on Saturday, October 25, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Following the success of February's Winter Soup Stroll, this expanded fall edition stretches up to 10th Street, featuring over twenty-two small businesses and eleven soup stop offering comforting, autumn-inspired samples. Participants can taste their way through downtown and vote for their favorite, helping crown the next "SOUPer-STAR" chef. The reigning champion, Luminary, returns to defend their title.

"We had so much great feedback from our Winter Soup Stroll that we decided to expand and offer the Autumn Soup Stroll," said Stephanie, co-owner of Copper Carriage. "It's another unique way to bring people downtown - not only to shop, but to eat and discover new places."

Soups on offer include fall-perfect favorites such as Tomato Basil and Creamy Chicken & Potato, plus other savory, autumn-inspired creations designed to reflect the season and the local culinary scene. Ticket sales will end October 21st at midnight or until sold out to give our soup chefs time to prepare.

Half of all ticket sales will be donated to Emmaus Ministries Soup Kitchen, supporting their mission to feed and uplift those in need - a perfect pairing for a community event centered around comfort food and connection.
