Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival with the Fried Chicken and Wings Festival

The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival with the Fried Chicken and Wings Festival is returning for its 7th year as a double header event. Our goal is to help small businesses grow and a place for people to discover new foods and try new items. Fried chicken is enjoyed throughout the world and every culture has their own twist on it. With one ticket, you can enjoy a variety of fried chicken, wings, 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 get your fill of dumplings and wings. This global inspired food festival is about showcasing small businesses and their creativity!
