Panda Fest, one of the nation’s fastest-growing outdoor Asian food and culture festivals, is coming to Nashville for the very first time this fall. Following sold-out events in Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, and Seattle, the panda-monium heads to Music City October 24–26 at Fair Park (2300 Bransford Ave Nashville, TN 37203) for a weekend-long celebration of food, culture, and community.
Founded by BiuBiu Xu, creator of New York City’s acclaimed Dragon Fest, Panda Fest has quickly grown from a one-day pop-up to a multi-day, multi-city festival. Known for its unique blend of authentic Asian cuisine, cultural performances, and panda-themed experiences, the event offers something for every age and appetite.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT PANDA FEST NASHVILLE:
Guests at Panda Fest Nashville can look forward to more than 80 Asian food vendors serving over 250 authentic street food dishes, along with 20+ merchandise vendors offering unique crafts, clothing, and artisan goods.
