Imagine warm soup, a crisp fall day in Calgary and your favourite person by your side, sounds great doesn’t it? On Sunday, October 1 (11am-2pm), head to Highfield Farm for their family-friendly fundraiser and harvest celebration, Soupalicious!
Celebrating harvest season has never been tastier! You can sample soup, dance to live music, take a tractor ride, compete in a pie eating contest, send the kids on a pumpkin hunt, and peruse local vendors – all in support of improving food security in Calgary!

Soupalicious‘ line-up features some of the best in the city, including returning champions Donna Mac and Micro YYC and People’s Choice winners: The Light Cellar and Basil Ranch.
Proof, Blue Mountain Biodynamics, Hotel Arts, Fresh with Vresh, and Root & Regenerate are also among the participants.

- The First Place Pot, determined by a panel of expert judges. Judges are Sharon Hapton the Founder of Soup Sisters, Bernice Hill of Dish ‘N’ the Kitchen, and Mayor Gondek!
- and The People’s Choice Golden Ladle, determined by YOU! All ticket holders are granted a voting token to help determine which soup reigns supreme.
