YYC Bubble Tea and Asian Dessert Festival returns to Calgary this month
The popular YYC Bubble Tea and Asian Dessert Festival is returning to Calgary this month.
In an exciting effort to showcase the best bubble tea and Asian dessert spots in Calgary, Crescent Heights Village BIA, Chinatown BIA, and International Avenue BRZ are collaborating to launch this festival.
Running from August 1 to 27, the festival is also raising money for Wing Kei Care Centres, a not-for-profit, community-based organization that provides compassionate, quality, culturally appropriate and loving care to seniors of Chinese descent.
A few of the tasty treats visitors can look forward to trying include the Black Sesame Croffle from Chewgurt Yummy, Pacific Hut’s Sago at Gulaman, and Uzu Tayaki’s Thai Tea Soft Serve.
“We’re excited to welcome back some of our 2021 participants as well as some new contenders,” Camie Leard, festival organizer and executive director of the Crescent Heights Village BIA, said in a press release. “The idea of the festival is to introduce Calgarians to bubble tea and Asian desserts they may not otherwise try.”
