Get ready for a cozy and delicious night out with Hot Soup, Cool Jazz — a community event in support of the Bay of Islands Food Bank.

On this special evening, some of the areas’ best restaurants will come together for a friendly soup competition. Guests will enjoy a wide variety of soups, from comforting classics to creative new flavours, all paired with light snacks to round out the experience. As you taste your way through the competition, you’ll also enjoy craft beer from Boomstick Brewing and the smooth, upbeat sounds of a live jazz band that will keep the atmosphere lively and fun.

Guests will have the chance to vote for their favourite soup of the evening, with bragging rights (and a little friendly rivalry) on the line for the participating restaurants.

Most importantly, this event is about giving back. Every dollar raised will go directly to the Bay of Islands Food Bank, helping to ensure that individuals and families in our community have access to food during the holiday season and beyond.

✨ Good food, great music, local craft beer, and the chance to make a meaningful difference — all in one night.
