YYC Noodle Festival 2026: The Launch at Chop Value YYC
Join us for an intimate evening of food, community and celebration benefiting the Leftovers Foundation.
YYC Noodle Festival (https://www.instagram.com/yycnoodlefestival) returns with The Launch — an intimate community gathering 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, (https://www.instagram.com/chopvalue_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 (https://www.instagram.com/leftoversfoundation).
✨ 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.
This is a limited-capacity evening. Your place is reserved — not just attended.
About the Host
YYC Noodle Festival celebrates the diversity, creativity, and cultural richness of noodles — a universal comfort food that connects us all. Through community events, storytelling, and partnerships with local organizations, the festival invites Calgarians to explore heritage, support meaningful causes, and share the joy of food made with love.
Proceeds support: Leftovers Foundation – rescuing good food to nourish our community.
Come taste the tradition. Come feel the love. ❤️
