Soupçon Salon: Valentine’s Fundraiser Night in Lambertville

Soupçon Salon brings love, music, and mutual aid together

If you’ve ever wished for a place that feels like a neighborhood living room—part gallery, part gathering spot, part creative lifeline—Soupçon Salon is exactly that kind of rare gem. Tucked behind Bucks Coffee Shop at 25 Bridge Street in Lambertville, New Jersey, Soupçon Salon operates as a nonprofit mutual aid society with a simple but powerful mission: build community, create connection, and keep a genuinely welcoming space sustainable. And on Saturday, February 14, Soupçon Salon is turning Valentine’s Day into a fundraiser that’s equal parts heartfelt and unapologetically fun.

The invitation says it plainly, with the kind of honesty I love: “So . . . you say that you LOVE Soupçon Salon? Well, show us some love and come to our Valentine’s Day Fundraiser on Saturday, February 14th… Our goal is to be sustainable and viable, but we need your support. Sometimes love is not enough, amirite?” That’s the whole point of this night—showing up for a community-building organization in a way that actually helps it thrive, not just in spirit, but in real dollars and real momentum.

Soupçon Salon turns February 14 into a full-on experience

This fundraiser is built like a proper night out: performance, personality, and plenty of reasons to linger. The evening begins with a performance by the Fabulous Chanteuse Jackie, accompanied by Ninja Neeks, setting the tone with live music that’s meant to feel intimate and celebratory at the same time. Then, when the night’s ready to shift gears, the dance floor opens up with DJ Queef Lorraine,” taking things from sweet to energized in the best possible way.

What makes the Soupçon Salon event feel especially worth the trip is that it’s not just a show—it’s an environment. Expect Valentine-themed artwork for sale, silent auction gift baskets from local artists and members, door prizes, and even Jean Michel’s pottery in the mix. There’s “Love Potion” pink punch, refreshments, and chocolate in some form, which is honestly the exact amount of mystery a Valentine’s menu should have. And then there’s the promised wildcard: a Polaroid photo booth “like no other,” which sounds like it’s designed to send you home with proof you actually went out and did something memorable.

Soupçon Salon is the kind of space worth showing up for

At the heart of all this is why Soupçon Salon exists in the first place: community. The message behind the fundraiser lands with real clarity: “Soupçon Salon is about building community in Lambertville and across the river. Having fun feels like a radical act in these times, and these spaces need to be supported in order to flourish!” That line nails the vibe—this is a night where joy is the point and mutual aid is the backbone, where your good time directly supports a space built to hold people up.

And if you’re the kind of person—or business—who wants to contribute beyond simply attending, Soupçon Salon is also openly welcoming support. “If you are willing to contribute in some way, it would be greatly appreciated. Your business will be acknowledged at our Valentine’s Day celebration/ fundraiser…” It’s a small detail that matters: community spaces survive when the community decides they matter, then backs it up.
