Our Story

Proudly hosted by the Vietnam Canada Business Association (VCBA) in collaboration with Soul of Vietnam, Vietnam Festival 2026 marks the inaugural edition of what aims to become Canada's premier annual celebration of Vietnamese culture, heritage, and community.

Inspired by the distinct beauty and traditions of Vietnam's North, Central, and South regions, the festival brings the spirit of Vietnam to Vancouver through authentic cuisine, cultural performances, live entertainment, artisan vendors, interactive activities, and exhibits that showcase the rich diversity of Vietnam's 54 ethnic groups.

The festival serves as a vibrant gathering place for community members, businesses, artists, performers, cultural organizations, and visitors from both Canada and Vietnam. It is an opportunity to celebrate cultural heritage, support local businesses, foster meaningful connections, and share the stories, traditions, and creativity that continue to shape the Vietnamese experience around the world.

Vietnam Festival 2026 is organized in accordance with the City of Vancouver's permitting requirements and all event regulations.

Whether you join as a guest, vendor, volunteer, performer, or sponsor, we invite you to be part of this landmark celebration and help build a new cultural tradition in Vancouver for years to come.
