CPS Chowder Festival

The Cathedral Parish School Chowder Festival presents a new version of St. Augustine's much-loved and sorely missed Great Chowder Debate on Sunday, January 21, 2024, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m., at the Mission Nombre de Dios. 

Several of St. Augustine's favorite restaurants will make chowders for the event, competing in four categories: New England Clam Chowder, Minorcan Clam Chowder, Seafood Chowder, and a "Chef's Choice" Chowder. Participating restaurants include Prohibition Kitchen, Meehan's Irish Pub and Seafood House, Amici Italian Restaurant, Mango Mango's Caribbean Grill, Sunset Grille, O'Steen's Restaurant, World Famous Oasis Restaurant, Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille, and Schooner's Seafood House.

Cleanse your palate between chowder tastings with coffee, wine, or beer, including Ancient City IPA. If chowder isn't your thing, Saucy Pig Barbeque Truck will be on site with their saucy chicken, pork, sausage, ribs, and brisket.

Admission: Free Admission. $1.00 tickets to sample the chowders and vote on your favorite.

When: Sunday, January 21, 2024 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Where:  Mission Nombre de Dios, 101 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida 32084

This event benefits the Cathedral Parish School, a VPK through 8th grade private Catholic school.
