World Dumpling Fest

World Dumpling Fest returns for its sixth year, now at Wrightwood Park in Lincoln Park, bringing together music, dance, and more than a dozen varieties of dumplings from neighborhood restaurants across Chicago. The Chicago Cultural Alliance organizes the weekend as a fundraiser for its network of over 40 cultural heritage centers, with local small businesses also on hand sharing crafts and traditions. It runs Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20, from 11 AM to 8 PM, and is open to all ages.
