Knead-Deep in Dough: the Beijinger Pizza Festival Returns Sep 16-17 at Wangjing Soho!
We're currently wading through the swamp that is the Beijing summer, which means that sat firmly on the horizon is a crusty, oven-baked and oval object, sopping with cheese and tomatoey goodness, signaling the impending encroachment of autumn.
That's right, Beijing! Our annual Pizza Festival, marking the launch of this year's Pizza Cup, is now only a mere two months away, this year falling on September 16-17 at Wangjing Soho. That means that we're already well into preparations for what has over the past four years been the biggest celebration of pizza that China has ever seen in its 5,000-year-strong history.
This year's fest will keep that dream alive, taking on a carnival theme to bring a splash of color to Beijing. There'll be music from some of the city's best live performers, including The Hunters, The Mac Daddies, and several DJs, as well as carnival games, magic shows, and carnival dancers.
Best of all, there'll be more than 50 food and drink vendors to make sure you never go hungry throughout the entire two-day festival. If that wasn't enough, you may even see history in the making, with the Guinness Book of World Records coming to record what will hopefully be the biggest dough toss of all time.
Tickets for the event will cost RMB 25 and the door or RMB 20 advance. Booking ahead of time will snag you a free secret gift to enjoy at the festival.
