The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival is coming to Downtown Chandler. Explore all the different varieties of baos and dumplings from traditional to creative interpretations. 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. Follow Bao and Dumpling Festival to be kept up to date on all of the local businesses who will be coming. Tag your photos with #azbaodumpling WHERE: Dr. A.J.

A cleaning company is hired to sanitize the tables and chairs. A face mask or cloth face covering is required per City of Chandler. When eating, the face mask or cloth face covering can be removed, but we ask when standing in line is when to use a face mask or cloth face covering. Event times will be staggered, so your group can maintain a 6 ft distance from others when dining and ordering food. Due to the staggered times and the number of tickets allocated to each time per the park capacity, you must arrive during the following times for admission or you may not be able to enter if the event is at capacity. Early admission tickets - Please arrive at 10:30am and no later than 11:30am General admission tickets - Please arrive at 12:00pm and no later than 1:30pm Happy hour admission tickets - Please arrive between 2:00pm and until end of the event Refunds are unavailable if you miss your admission time.

Happy hour admission is at a discounted price, but we do not guarantee all food and drink choices will be available from vendors. Vendors may have some menu items that are limited and due to supply, may not carry every choice featured below during happy hour admission. There will be food available during the event for happy hour, but there may also be a couple vendors who may be sold out. If there is something that you would like to eat specifically, we encourage you to purchase early admission or general admission tickets.
