The 2026 Bund International Bread Festival turns the waterfront into a giant “bread living room,” welcoming bakers and bread lovers from around the world. Over two weekends in March (14–15 and 21–22), more than 200 local and international brands—from Hangzhou, Beijing, and Chengdu to Macau and Italy—come together to offer a global bite of bread. Highlights include the Four Seasons Bao pop-up, four long-table bread feasts celebrating international and local baking culture, and the Shanghai-exclusive second issue of Bread Youth Trends. Free to enter, the festival is a place to reconnect with old friends, meet new bread buddies, and celebrate the simple joy of sharing bread.
