YYC Noodle Festival returns with The Launch — an intimate community gathering where culture comes alive through community, connection, and the makers who keep tradition moving forward. This is not a networking event. It is a room curated for people who believe that food carries memory, that art carries identity, and that community is built one intentional gathering at a time. The evening features an experience at Chop Value YYC, activations from local Asian-owned businesses, and the debut of our Chinese Zodiac Noodle Destiny cards — and hear from the Founders, Team and Leftovers Foundation. ✨ Every element of this evening was chosen with intention. Every story in this room belongs here. Your evening includes: 🥢 Complimentary appetizers and finger foods 🍹 Beverages available throughout the evening 🎴 Chinese Zodiac Noodle Destiny card — yours to keep 💛 A preview of the 2026 Vendor Line Up A portion of proceeds supports the Leftovers Foundation, reducing food waste and feeding those in need across Calgary.
