Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival with the Arizona Rice Fest

The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival is returning for its 5th year, but the first time as a two day festival. This year will also be a double header event. If you love rice dishes, over 15 local businesses will showcase their creativity in the first ever Arizona Rice Fest. Explore all the different varieties of baos and dumplings from traditional to creative interpretations. 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.
