SoupFest 2026

Join us for a heartwarming event to support vulnerable youth!

Enjoy a delicious variety of soups, generously donated by local chefs and restaurants. For just $20, you’ll receive 4-4oz bowls of soup while supporting a cause that makes a difference in the lives of young people facing homelessness, poverty, mental health challenges, and more.

Each bowl you taste helps fund programs that empower youth, offering resources like job training, mentorship, and life skills workshops. Soupfest has been a cherished annual tradition in Hamilton for over 30 years, attracting thousands who believe in building a stronger future for our youth.

Your participation directly supports Living Rock Ministries, a vital resource for at-risk youth in Hamilton since 1985. The event includes local competitions for the Best Soup, Most Creative Soup, and Heart Smart Soup, as well as a Best Display contest.
