Hey everyone! Today, we’re heading to Panda Fest Chicago for an afternoon of Asian street food, cultural performances, shopping, and plenty of panda vibes! 🐼✨

📅 Sunday, August 30, 2026

⏰ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

📍 Panda Fest — Butler Field

☂️ Meet-up: Roosevelt University

We’ll meet outside Roosevelt University (Michigan Ave. & Ida B Wells Parkway), where there are shaded areas and places to sit while we wait for everyone. From there, we’ll head to Panda Fest together!

🌏✨ Dress for the occasion!

Everyone is encouraged to wear or bring outfits or accessories inspired by Asian culture – traditional or modern clothing, prints, jewelry, fans, hats, bags, pins, hair accessories, or anything else that adds a touch of cultural flair. It’s completely optional, but definitely encouraged!
