Beer Festival
Dalian has a big outdoor beer festival every year where a lot of international brewers come. It's not exactly micro-brew heaven, but it's good fun. It's at Xinghai Gongyuan I think, and usually in June (maybe July). You might want to look into that.
Dalian Beer Festival
This site says it's the end of July or early August, but it may be a little earlier. It usually lasts about two weeks.

Anyone know for sure?
July
It's definitely not August. I've been twice. I think it's in July this year and it normally lasts about two weeks in Xinghai Guangchang.
There's also a fashion festival going on in Dalian now.
July 26th
I've finally solved the mystery. It is scheduled to begin on July 26 this year.
Come on out, it's a lot of fun.
Russian Invasion
Dalian in the summer is great with the breezes coming off the ocean, and giant parks. But there sure are a lot of Russians that flock in. Once I was at a bus stop on one the biggest streets in the city and was shocked to be propositioned by a Russian prostitute at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Of course most of the Russians that come in are business types, often with there families. If you want to get a big Russian buffet there are few cities better able to accommodate you than Dalian in July or August!
Ron Martin
There's this Chicago geezer in Dalian called Ron Martin. He sells pizza and has set himself up as a local trader businessman who knows everything. Don't touch him. I did some business with him and got ripped off. Be warned. It's bad enough with the Chinese let alone fellow Americans stealing from you and lying about it.
Dalian Xpat
There have been some horror stories about that guy I also heard a bit of a scammer. Anyway, Dalian has a pretty good community website and I met the owner recently, another American called Jim. (Seems Dalian is full of yanks & aussies these days) he runs www.DalianXpat.com and he's doing a decent enough job of it. Check it out if you need Dalian local info.
Ron Martin
In reply to previous posters, note that his Martoni Pizza is a sponsor of the above DalianXpat (linked to on their homepage).
I make no accusations, merely bring together facts.
