3) Panda Fest, a vibrant celebration of Asian culture, cuisine, and community, is making its Boston debut this year! Originating in New York City in 2024, Panda Fest decided to expand and is bringing its exciting and immersive experience to Boston's City Hall Plaza from Friday, May 2nd to Sunday, May 4th, 2025. Prepare for three days of delicious food, captivating performances, and panda-themed fun. Tickets will go live Monday, February 3rd at 10am.
Panda Fest will feature over 60 Asian food vendors offering more than 200 varieties of Asian street food, alongside 15 merchandise vendors and numerous cultural performances. Attendees will also enjoy panda-themed activities and merchandise, including a giant inflatable panda. As a family-friendly event, children under six can attend for free (with a complimentary headband), while children aged six and up require an adult ticket. Pets are welcome too, provided they meet the event's guidelines.
"There is a surge in the interest and love for Asian food and culture, and we noticed that it’s hard to find a dedicated platform in Boston to celebrate this. That's why Panda Fest was created. It's intended to be an experiential festival where people can taste authentic Asian cuisine and immerse themselves in the rich culture and traditions," says Biubiu Xu, Founder of Panda Fest. "I am thrilled to invite everyone to what will be one of the largest celebrations of Asian food and culture in Boston."

On Monday, March 31, between 20 and 25 of the region’s most talented bartenders will go head to head in a series of timed challenges at Royale Boston.
