Upcoming Shanghai Food Fairs!

Spurred on by an avid reader’s request, and my own love of outdoor food festivals, I’ve finally gotten together a short list of upcoming street food fairs. The last food fair on Wujiang Lu was fantastic, but it was so poorly promoted that I only found out about it by stumbling upon it in search of my favorite milk tea.

It took more than 10 calls to locate the correct bureau in charge of activities on Wujiang Lu, the Wujiang Lu Administration Committee, but when we finally tracked them down, they were quite friendly.

Several activities are confirmed for Wujiang Lu this year, and others are still being planned.

Confirmed events:

4/10 - 4/12 Egypt Culture Week 埃及文化周 The festival supposedly will provide visitors with a sampling of Egyptian cuisine. Sounds intriguing, as I don’t think I’ve ever had Egyptian food in Shanghai.

4/25 - 4/26 Korean Seafood Festival 韩国水产节

Still pending events:

4/17 - 4/19 F1 Carnival: TBA

8/09 Thailand Week: TBA

9/09 or 10/09 Shanghai Tourism Festival: Wujiang Lu may hold some corresponding food activities

And two other indoor foodie events:

4/1 - 4/30 Northeast Asian Food and Culture Festival currently ongoing at the Golden Jaguar Mall (金钱豹国际美食百汇) Anyone who stops by here, let us know what's cooking!

11/7 - 11/8 The Cuisine Festival An international food fair which will include cooking lessons and a jazz concert, held at the Shanghai Exhibition Center

If there's interest, I'll update this list as I find more info!
