The Historic Manassas Souper Bowl 2024 is more than an annual event. It is a tradition that attracts hundreds of people who eagerly seek to taste the soups that local restaurants serve in the attractive shops of Historic Downtown. Restaurants competed to become the winner of the title for Best Soup of the Souper Bowl!
This year, we had 640 people who followed the "soup route", a detailed map with the places to visit, the soup they would try and a QR code to vote for the soup they liked the most.
"We have had a lot of fun. We never miss out. The soups this year were tasty," said one participant.
The happy faces, loud laughter, and comments from the visitors showed how much fun they were having.
"I think it has been a very well organized event in all the stores we have visited, according to the map, we have found volunteers guiding us and everything has been excellent," another of the attendees told the HMI reporter.
The Souper Bowl is also the kickoff event for the First Friday season in Historic Downtown Manassas, which begins in February and ends in November.
"I'm sorry I missed it," "I'll be there next year," "It's the first time I've missed it," were the expressions of many people who did not buy their ticket in time to participate in the Souper Bowl, which this year included a commemorative mug for the 10th anniversary.

Busy, busy! The Puerto Rican Sancocho that the friends of Puerto Rico Café cooked, and that they served at Black Metal Mercantile, was one of the most sought after by visitors. The mixture of meats used to cook it makes Sancocho one of the most famous dishes in Puerto Rico. Photo by Herbert Zepeda
Chili is undoubtedly one of America's favorites, and the Beef Brisket Chili that The Bone served at Sinistral Brewing Copany was undoubtedly spectacular, and one of the strong contenders for the 2024 Souper Bowl. Photo by Herbert Zepeda
