The Bay Area’s biggest dumpling party is back. 🥟

San Francisco’s World of Dumplings returns to the Ferry Building on Sunday, October 25 for a free, all-day celebration of dumplings, food, culture and community.

More than 16,000 people attended last year, with 45+ local restaurants and businesses taking part. This year’s festival will return with dumplings from across cultures, cooking demos, live performances, community programming and more.

World of Dumplings is produced by Asians Are Strong, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and is 100% volunteer-run.

Come hungry, bring friends and spend the day at one of San Francisco’s largest community food gatherings of the fall.
