After sold out festivals in Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, and Philadelphia, Panda Fest is set to make its Dallas debut! This November, the massive Asian food and cultural festival at Carpenter Park in Downtown, Dallas will feature three days of performances, markets, and sensational street food.
From BiuBiu X, the mind behind the hit Dragon Fest in New York City, Panda Fest is one of the fastest-growing cultural festivals in the country. After blowing out cities across the U.S., Panda Fest will make its Texas debut in Dallas featuring three days of delicious food and family-friendly fun.

Here, eager eaters can expect to delight in over 150 Asian dishes – including everything from steaming dumplings, to savory ramen, spicy street food, and tasty desserts from the likes of China, Korean, Thailand, Japan, Thailand, and more!
In addition to over 65 food vendors, the three-day festival will also feature a vibrant marketplace. Here, visitors can explore among a range of vendors offering handmade crafts, heritage goods, artisanal teas, clothing, calligraphy art, jewelry, and more.
Furthermore, Panda Fest will host a range of arts and crafts events as well as live performances throughout the event including K-Pop showcases and lion dances. The festival wouldn’t live up to its name if it didn’t feature its mascot, a 15-foot inflatable panda bear. Festival-goers can also expect to enjoy an array of panda-themed delights ranging from panda-shaped desserts to panda-themed packaging.
