 Panda Fest, one of the nation’s fastest-growing outdoor Asian food and culture festivals, is thrilled to announce its return to Atlanta later this year. As the first city to host Panda Fest, Atlanta set the stage with a sold-out debut that created incredible momentum and excitement. From Sept. 5–7, Panda Fest will bring the panda-monium back to Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot with a vibrant celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures. Guests can enjoy a weekend filled with delicious food, live performances, arts and crafts, and interactive panda-themed experiences designed for all ages.
 
Founded by BiuBiu Xu, the creator of New York City’s acclaimed Dragon Fest, Panda Fest began as a one-day pop-up and quickly grew into a multi-city, multi-day festival. It has sold out in cities including Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, and Seattle, with plans to return to all of them in 2026. Atlanta is the only city selected to host Panda Fest twice in one year.
 
“Atlanta holds a special place in Panda Fest’s story as the first city to welcome us,” said Xu. “We’re honored to bring the festival back for a second time in 2025. It’s a testament to Atlanta’s vibrant AAPI community and their appetite for cultural celebration. This September’s event promises even more food, art, and fun, and we can’t wait to see everyone back for this exciting weekend.”
 
Building on the success of the first Atlanta event, the Panda Fest team has listened carefully to attendee feedback to make this fall’s festival even better. Enhancements include smoother and faster entry with more staffing, additional timed ticketing options to provide greater flexibility, budget-friendly eats under $15 alongside larger portions, more drink stations to keep guests refreshed, shaded VIP seating, and increased signage to help guests navigate the festival grounds with ease.
 
WHAT TO EXPECT AT PANDA FEST ATLANTA
Guests can explore a culinary journey across Asia with more than 80+ food vendors and food trucks offering 300+ dishes from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and beyond. From authentic street food to creative fusion bites, there’s something for every palate. In addition to the food, attendees can browse a curated marketplace of 25+ vendors offering crafts, clothing, accessories, and artisan goods inspired by Asian heritage. Traditional arts like calligraphy, sugar painting, and paper cutting will be featured alongside modern K-pop dance routines, lion dances, theatrical performances, and more. And of course, pandas take center stage – expect Instagram-worthy installations like a 15-foot inflatable panda, a panda bounce ring, and themed treats, souvenirs, and games galore.
 
TICKET INFO
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 11, with a limited number of Early Bird tickets available through Sunday, July 27 at 10 p.m. EST or until sold out. General Admission includes entry to the festival and two complimentary gifts: a customized Atlanta festival pin and an inflatable panda headband. VIP tickets include upgraded perks such as shaded seating, VIP restrooms, exclusive experiences, a private bar, and a Panda Fest tote bag.

WAR ON SLEEP CELBRATES DEBUT EP COOL SUMMER WITH RECORD RELEASE SHOW AT SMITH’S OLDE BAR ON JULY 18

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 7/6/25

Atlanta-based indie rock band War On Sleep will celebrate the release of their debut EP Cool Summer with a full-band performance at Smith’s Olde Bar (Atlanta Room) on Thursday, July 18, 2025. The show will feature support from fellow Atlanta artists Warfather and Ole Fateful. Doors open at 7 PM. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

War On Sleep, the latest project from Eric Michaels (formerly of Paper Thick Walls and SAYERS) and guitarist Jacques Hebert, combines intimate songwriting with textured guitar layers and pedal steel. The Cool Summer EP was produced by multi-instrumentalist and longtime collaborator Ross Harrell, whose subtle, cinematic arrangements help bring the band’s nostalgic vision to life.

Their sound has drawn comparisons to The National, Wilco, and Pedro the Lion, and has already gained critical attention in the indie blog world. MP3hugger praised the band’s recent single “Some Men” as “a lovely statement, put together with a warmth that makes it even more accessible,” noting that “it was as if The National were at the controls and things were never going to get too hot and heavy.”

The Cool Summer EP explores themes of nostalgia, aging, and the quiet beauty in moments we once took for granted. Songs like the title track and “Some Men” reflect on friendships that fade and the struggle to balance art with adulthood. This release show marks the band’s first full live set and will include tracks from the EP and new material from their forthcoming full-length album.

Listen to the Cool Summer EP on Spotify on July 18th here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4l2FIlaqlnZj7SIIxuSclF?si=QQ0jW6asTomjLLpw21ZH1A
