What is the Dumpling Festival?

The Asian Arts and Culture Society is excited to present the 3rd Annual BC Dumpling Festival in the Tri-Cities. This festival is a celebration of the diverse community we live in and brings together families, friends, neighbours, community organizations and businesses from different cultures to share food, entertainment and laughter. It is a multicultural, family-friendly event that will showcase dumplings from different cultures!
Why a Dumpling Festival?

The idea for BC Dumpling Festival was sparked during COVID 19 when there was a rise in anti-Asian hate and crime in our community. One of the members experienced racism right at Town Centre Park in 2021 and as a result, the Asian Arts and Culture Society was created.
The Society hopes to promote multiculturalism and diversity through arts and cultural events. What better way to do this than at a festival over a plateful of dumplings from all over the world!?!
