Attention Restaurants
We are cooking up a new idea for early 2026 — a Soup Walk that would invite the community to sample seasonal soups from local restaurants and cafés while strolling through town.
Email me to find out more about participating! 2 walkable areas in Downtown Fairfax and Sir Francis Drake/ Center Blvd area
If you are not open from 2-6 PM, please have staff available to serve soup. The timing was intentional to avoid the lunch and dinner rush.
The concept:
Each participating business would offer a small 4 oz sample of soup to wristbband holders
Park & Rec provides the supplies - wristbands, compostable bowls, and spoons. Includes map.
Get free marketing and give customers a fun way to engage
The event would be walkable, cozy, and community-focused
We’d promote it through Chamber marketing and invite locals to vote for their favorite
In February, when things are quieter, and soup sounds perfect
Please participate and email minna@fairfaxchamberca.com to get looped in. Let's make something delicious together. 🍜
