BC Dumpling Festival 2023: A Culinary Voyage Celebrating Unity in Diversity!

Mark your calendars for August 12, 2023, as the Town Centre Park in Coquitlam comes alive with the vibrant spirit of the 2nd Annual BC Dumpling Festival. From 11 am to 8 pm, join us for a culinary and cultural journey that transcends borders and brings people together.

Presented by the Asian Arts and Culture Society, the BC Dumpling Festival is more than just a food event; it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of our diverse community. It's a day to gather with family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who quickly become friends as we bond over shared experiences, laughter, and, of course, delectable dumplings.

Indulge in a multicultural feast as the festival unites cultures through the universal language of food. Dumplings, a beloved culinary treasure from around the world, will take center stage. Taste the flavors of different cultures, each dumpling telling its own story of tradition and innovation.

The BC Dumpling Festival holds a deeper purpose beyond just enjoying delicious bites. It was born out of a need to combat the rise in anti-Asian hate and crime during the challenging times of COVID-19. A member's personal experience ignited the spark that led to the creation of the Asian Arts and Culture Society. This festival stands as a testament to the society's commitment to fostering multiculturalism, diversity, and understanding through the arts.

Let the aroma of dumplings from diverse cultures fill the air, and let the laughter and camaraderie dissolve barriers. Join us as we celebrate what unites us - a love for food, culture, and community. Come one, come all, and let's make memories over shared plates of dumplings from around the world at the BC Dumpling Festival 2023.
