Dumpling Fest 2026
Celebrate global cuisine at this food festival featuring dumplings from around the world at Calder Plaza.
Dumpling Fest 2026 brings international cuisine to downtown Grand Rapids for a full day of eating and exploring. You and your family can sample dumplings prepared in different styles—crispy, chewy, savory, and sweet—with options spanning Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. It's a chance to travel the world through food without leaving the city.
The festival is designed with families in mind and includes activities beyond just eating. The organizers suggest arriving hungry and planning ahead to try everything that catches your eye. This is an ideal outing if your household enjoys trying new foods and experiencing different culinary traditions together.
