About the event

This traditional Chinese holiday is typically celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month with dragon boat racing and sticky rice dumplings. This steamy treat, known as Zongzi, is made up of seasoned sticky rice stuffed with meat fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. Some regions fill the center with salted egg yolks, chestnuts, and dried shrimp while some opt for red beans for a sweet version of Zongzi. Not only are these steamy treats delicious, they also carry a unique legend that centers upon the people’s compassion and collective effort to stand up against tyranny and take collective action to change the future.

Come for a taste of Zongzi at our festival in Northern and Southern Nevada and learn how you can take civic action to change our future!
