Downtown De Pere Soup Walk is a culinary tasting and pairing event which features signature soups and select beverage pairings, hosted at a variety of downtown eateries. And, competition is in the air for local chefs as they compete for the coveted Golden Ladle award at the annual Soup Walk event. As is tradition at the event, attendees are asked to name one soup above the rest by voting for their favorite soup along the culinary tour.
