Good to Know
The festival features live entertainment on stage, local artists' work on display, food trucks, non-food vendors, and community organizations — all in one vibrant setting.
The BC Dumpling Festival was founded in response to a rise in anti-Asian hate during COVID-19, with a mission to promote multiculturalism and diversity through arts and cultural events.
The Asian Arts and Culture Society is a not-for-profit organization; the festival runs on the support of generous volunteers and sponsors including presenting sponsor RBC.
