Empty Bowls Dinner
Since 2017, Empty Bowl has brought Sunapee together in the most meaningful (and delicious!) way. What began as a simple idea from Sunapee Middle High School students and teachers—wanting to give back—has grown into one of our community’s favorite annual gatherings.
Each year, a local artist crafts dozens of beautiful, one-of-a-kind pottery bowls. Then, the community comes together at The Livery to share a homemade meal and dessert served right in those handcrafted bowls. Laughter, conversation, and the smell of good food fill the room—there’s something truly special about it.
And the best part? You get to take your bowl home as a keepsake—a reminder of the good we can do when we gather around the table together.
Empty Bowl isn’t just a dinner; it’s a celebration of creativity, kindness, and community spirit—all wrapped up in one warm bowl.
What is an Empty Bowl Dinner?
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement by artists and crafts people in cities and towns around the world to raise money for food related charities to care for and feed the hungry in their communities.
Cost: $20/per person includes a full meal, and a handmade artisan bowl.
Dinner reservations are required and must be made no later than November 4th.
All proceeds from this event go to Sunapee’s Food Pantry. (Follow the link to see current needs.)
