Are kids allowed to attend?

Yes! Kids 5 and under are allowed free entry to the event. Ages 6-12 are $5 and do not receive a hand-painted bowl, and 13+ is the cost of a regular ticket.

Can I pay for extra hand-painted bowls?

Yes! Extra hand-painted bowls will be at regular ticket price. You can purchase extra bowls on the day of the event, on EventBrite, or at the Pantry at 806 Fayette, Bastrop, TX.

Will there be vegetarian options?

There is no guarantee of vegetarian or vegan options. But, each soup will list its allergens, and we will do our best to label each soup.

What is the Empty Bowl Project?
