The 2026 Beijing Guijie Night Carnival and "Have a Cray-zy Summer" Crayfish Festival (北京簋街不夜节暨“快乐一xia”小龙虾生活节) are now underway. Renowned restaurants such as Hu Da Restaurant (胡大饭馆) and Hua's Restaurant (花家怡园) are serving up crayfish in 10 classic flavors, including Sichuan spice, garlic, braised, and the famous thirteen-spice seasoning.

Trendy brands are also joining the fun with creative cultural products, craft beer, camping gear and other modern elements, turning this century-old food street into one of Beijing's most popular gathering spots for this season.
