About MoMo Festival
Welcome to Momo Festivals
– a vibrant celebration of Himalayan flavors, music, and community!
Momo Festivals is a vibrant celebration of Nepali and Himalayan culture, food, and music—created to bring families and communities together through an unforgettable experience.
It all started in 2022 at Levitt Pavilion in Arlington, Texas, where the inaugural Momo Festival drew a massive crowd and exceeded every expectation. What began as a dream to share Nepal’s beloved momo and rich traditions has grown into a signature annual event that now draws thousands each year.
Building on the overwhelming success of 2022, we proudly returned with even bigger festivals in 2023 and 2024, featuring more food vendors, more live performances, and more activities for all ages. Each year, the excitement and attendance have grown—solidifying Momo Festival as one of the most anticipated cultural events in the region.
Whether you’re coming for the mouthwatering momos, the lively Nepali music, or just looking for a day full of family fun, Momo Festival offers something for everyone.
