DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Panda-monium is about to sweep across Texas! Panda Fest, one of the nation’s fastest-growing Asian food and culture festivals, will make its Dallas debut November 7–9 at Carpenter Park before heading south to Austin for its first-ever celebration November 14–16 at Republic Square. Tickets for both festivals go on sale Wednesday, September 17 at pandafests.com.

Founded by BiuBiu Xu—the creator of New York City’s acclaimed Dragon Fest—Panda Fest began as a one-day pop-up and quickly grew into a multi-city, multi-day celebration. The festival has sold out in Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Minneapolis/St. Paul, cementing its reputation as a must-attend cultural event.

“Texas has such a vibrant, diverse community, and we are thrilled to bring Panda Fest here for the very first time,” said Xu. “After selling out in city after city, we know Dallas and Austin are ready for the panda-monium—where food, culture, and fun come together in unforgettable ways.”
