2025 Empty Bowls

Join us for a fun-filled evening of food, music and art with friends and neighbors! There will be a selection of over 400 unique ceramic bowls crafted by local artists of the Lancaster Creative Factory. Fill your empty bowl with soups from local restaurants, baked goods and a variety of fresh breads. Enjoy a live auction of beautiful art pieces, live glass blowing, a wheel throwing demonstration and music from the band, Easily Amused, during the event.

The event will run from 4 PM to 7 PM at The Lancaster Creative Factory (580 S. Prince St, Lancaster, PA 17603). Proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels of Lancaster-- a local nonprofit whose mission is to provide freshly prepared home-delivered meals to those who are unable to prepare meals for themselves.
