It’s finally here. The new and improved Beach Haven Chowder Cook-Off, presented by the Beach Haven Chamber of Commerce and the Hunger Foundation of Southern Ocean, comes to the Taylor Avenue field behind Bay Village this weekend, with a new name, traditional format, and a mission to fight hunger and food insecurity in the region through area food banks.

Saturday is the free-admission merchants’ mart, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday is the soup-a-palooza, for ticketholders only, from 11 a.m.
