Each year over a six-month span, Dragon Fest, NYC’s first and largest outdoor Chinese food and culture festival, brings 100+ varieties of traditional, popular, and rare Chinese food to NYC streets, though this August they’re expanding their offerings and hosting a unique summer “pool party” on the street!
They’re not doing it alone though–they’ll actually be teaming up with sparkling water brand Chi Forest who will be keeping partygoers hydrated all day long with tasty mocktails slung by some of the most renowned bartenders.
The bartender lineup is as follows:
- 10:30 am – 12:30 pm: Suwincha ‘Chacha’ Singsuwan of Bangkok Supper Club
- 1 pm – 3 pm: Steve Schneider of Sip&Guzzle
- 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm: Moe Aljaff of Schmuck
Beyond the drinks the pool party promises a unique day filled with playful wave and pool inflatables and exclusive food offerings such as lobster dumplings by Dumpling n’ Dips.
Oh, and we can’t forget the special promos and giveaways such as a Mocktail Pin and Beverage Bag from Chi Forest (all you have to do to receive one is follow them on social media!) Limited quantities will be available, so be sure to stop by early!
And beyond indulging in some summer fun you’ll also be supporting a great cause–15% of the event proceeds will be donated to City Harvest, helping to feed those in need across New York City.
