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 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.
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. The festival will also feature live Asian cultural performances ranging from traditional dance to modern K-pop routines, interactive panda installations like a giant inflatable panda and panda bounce, and exclusive panda-themed merchandise designed to create Instagram-worthy experiences throughout the weekend.
Guests will also receive 2 FREE GIFTS with admission: a customized Panda Fest pin featuring the custom Nashville design and a panda headband (a $11 value). VIP ticket holders receive an additional exclusive gift bag, fast-pass entry, and access to private VIP bars, bathrooms, and lounges.
Early Bird tickets go on sale Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 10 a.m. CST, with a limited number available through Sunday, Sept. 14, at 10 p.m. CST or until sold out. General Admission and VIP tickets will also be available. See below or visit www.pandafests.com for ticket details and pricing.
