Empty Bowls Lower Valley 2026

Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Empty Bowls Lower Valley with an evening of food, music, and community, presented by H-E-B Hunger Relief.

Held at the Brownsville Events Center on Thursday, June 25, 2026 from 6 to 9 p.m., this community event brings together some of the Lower Valley’s favorite restaurants, each serving signature tastings for guests to enjoy throughout the night.

Your ticket includes:

• Unlimited tastings from participating restaurants

• DJ Entertainment

• Access to our silent auction

• A hand-painted ceramic bowl to take home

Each bowl serves as a symbol of the empty bowls in our community—and a reminder of the role we all play in helping fill them.

Proceeds from the event will support the Food Bank RGV’s efforts to provide meals and essential resources to our neighbors in need.

Whether you’re coming for the food, the atmosphere, or the cause, Empty Bowls Lower Valley is a meaningful way to connect with the community and make a real impact.

Buy your tickets today. Tickets will be $45 at the door.
