Panda Fest Dallas

Panda-monium is about to take over North Texas! Panda Fest, one of the nation's fastest-growing Asian food and culture festivals, is making its Dallas debut this fall at Carpenter Park in Downtown Dallas. The family-friendly event runs November 7–9, 2025, with tickets going on sale Tuesday, September 17.

Guests can look forward to a weekend filled with 60+ food vendors, live performances, panda-themed fun, and family-friendly activities that showcase the rich diversity of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures.

Founded by BiuBiu Xu, the creator of New York City's acclaimed Dragon Fest, Panda Fest began as a one-day pop-up and quickly grew into a multi-city, multi-day celebration. The festival has sold out in cities including Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Minneapolis/St. Paul-cementing its reputation as a must-attend cultural event. In 2026, Panda Fest will return to those cities while also expanding to Dallas, Austin, Nashville, Charlotte, Hartford, and Phoenix.
"Dallas has such a vibrant, diverse community, and we are thrilled to bring Panda Fest here for the very first time," said Xu. "After selling out in city after city, we know Texas is ready for the panda-monium-where food, culture, and fun come together in unforgettable ways."
