Empty Bowls 2024 Planning Kicks Off

By

The 13th Annual Kingfield Empty Bowls event will take place on “Soup-er Bowl” Sunday, February 11, 2024. Once again, we welcome our community to come together to fight hunger and homelessness in our area while sharing a delicious meal and lively conversation.

  • We look forward to working again with our restaurant community who have been very generous in their support donating soup, bread, dessert and coffee. 
  • On the bowls side of the equation:  We NEED bowls. We are seeking potters, connections to potters, and educators at a school with pottery students, or even poetry collectors.

The first planning meeting for the 2024 event is Wednesday, October 4, at 6:30 PM at Judson Memorial Baptist church  (41st and Harriet Ave. S.). If you want to donate or participate, simply reach out to me at .

Kingfield PorchFest Updated Bands and Sites!

Not breathing is hard, especially when you are trying to sing. Thus, we have had some cancellations in our schedule for Kingfield PorchFest tonight. Not to fear, we still have 37 sites and 56 performing groups! If you bike past a venue you thought was hosting music, please have the courtesy to respect their decision to not play this evening due to our air quality yesterday.

To participate in Kingfield PorchFest, just bike the neighborhood and listen for the keening fiddle, tooting jug, strumming guitar strings or inhale and exhale of the accordion.

Or plot your route using the updated Google map  found here: bit.ly/KingfieldPorchFestMap2023

or the printable Site and Band list found here: PorchFest 2023 Site List.

Please remember to pack your pockets full of dollars for tipping, and have your phone ready to Venmo both the performing groups, and KFNA for organizing this event!
