If you love dumplings, you’ve no doubt heard of the BC Dumpling Festival, the first of its kind in the Tri-Cities. Last year, the inaugural fest brought neighbours and friends together to enjoy dumplings from a variety of different cultures, and this year is no exception, and it is taking place this weekend!
Presented by the Asian Arts and Culture Society and Marcon Homes, this year’s delicious festival will bring everything from siu mai and gyoza to steamed buns, pierogi, and mandu to Coquitlam for a celebration of dumpling culture across the globe.
The idea behind the fest was sparked during the rise of anti-Asian hate & crime during COVID-19. The result? A multi-cultural, family-friendly event to bring awareness to the communities affected, and celebrate Vancouver’s diverse dumpling scene.
With a kids’ zone, art display, and live entertainment stage – you’ll be able to enjoy your dumplings as well as activities fit for the whole family.
