The Arizona Bao and Dumpling Festival is returning for its 6th year with the Nom Nom Noodles Festival. Try exclusive noodle dishes on Sunday from local businesses. Explore creative interpretations of dumplings on Saturday. What is a bao? From Food Republic, a bao or known as a steamed bun or baozi is a "complete meal conveniently packed away in a white, warm, soft bun." Or what we like to say, an amazing delicious experience.
