The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival is returning for its 6th year with the Nom Nom Noodles Festival. Try exclusive noodle dishes on Sunday from local businesses. Explore creative interpretations of dumplings on Saturday. 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 noodles.

Different vendors are available on each day for a variety of dumpling, bao, and noodle dishes. Both days will have bao, dumplings, and noodles.

Tickets include free parking at the nearby garages and exclusive coupons to local businesses. This is a one stop shop to support local and try from a variety of food vendors and purchase anime merchandise. Peruse the anime art and enjoy live music. Children 12 and under are free. Refunds are available up until 8 days before the event.

For our sixth year, the event is outdoors. We will have local food businesses and menu prices range from $5 - $17. We will also have a curated anime marketplace with local artists. Boba, desserts, and other Asian dishes will be available too. Parking is free in in the parking garages. We highly encourage carpooling or rideshare. Feel free to cosplay!

All food and drink is sold separately. All of the local businesses will be collecting their own sales. They do not offset the event production costs. Most vendors will accept both cash and card. We do recommend bringing cash for this event and coming with a group of your friends and families to try a little bit from everywhere! Event times will be staggered to improve flow of the event. You can stay as long as you like and ticket times are only for how early you can arrive.
