Chowderfest Feb. 2 in Bridgeport

The 6th annual "Chowderfest" is taking place on Sunday, February 2 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Webster Bank Arena on 600 Main Street in Bridgeport.  At this fest you are the judge of this competition pitting 28 award winning chefs against each other.  When you arrive, you get a pencil a ballot and a spoon!  Then you are invited to slurp down 32 decadent samples of chowder, soup and bisque!  It is up to you to vote and to determine who is the best!

This popular event is held annually as a pre-event to the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 -- fans of this event like to call it the "Soup - er Bowl"!   The event runs until three so football fans have plenty of time to get home to watch the big game.

Chowdafest is one of the best deals around.  It's just $12 (adults) $5 kids (6-12).  Tickets are on-sale at the arena box office.  SAVE $2 on each adult ticket when purchased at advance at any New Haven or Fairfield County Stop & Shop through January. Kids receive FREE chef hats, stickers and more while supplies last.

This incredible fundraiser benefits Connecticut Food Bank. Get your tickets early to avoid box office lines.  Come dressed in your favorite football jersey. Grab the in-laws, the neighbors, co-workers and car pool down for all the fun.
