ABOUT PANDA FEST: Launched in 2024, Panda Fest has quickly grown into one of the largest outdoor Asian food festivals in the U.S. Combining experiential activities, tastings, market fairs, and live performances, the festival celebrates the rich food, art, and traditions of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures — all with the panda as a playful and welcoming centerpiece. Founded by BiuBiu Xu, creator of New York City’s Dragon Fest, Panda Fest has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing outdoor Asian food and culture festivals in the country. After sold-out events in cities including Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Nashville, the festival continues to expand while maintaining a strong focus on authenticity, cultural celebration, and immersive guest experiences.
