Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival

The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival is returning for its 8th year. Our goal is to help small businesses grow and a place for people to discover new foods and try new items. With one ticket, you can enjoy a variety of dumplings and bao. What is a bao? From Food Republic, a bao or known as a steamed bun or baozi is a “complete meal conveniently packed away in a white, warm, soft bun.” Or what we like to say, an amazing delicious experience. Baos are a form of dumplings and you can try different dumplings from various cultures from takoyaki to potstickers. Come both days to try a little bit from every local business. This global inspired food festival is about showcasing small businesses and their creativity!
