ABOUT VIETFEST

Vietfest is one of the largest and most well-perceived Vietnamese cultural events amongst the Vietnamese community in Adelaide, South Australia. It is stemmed from the longing of Vietnamese international students in Adelaide for the homey sense of the Viet motherland that has given rise to the strong desire for Vietfest. That yearning was shared widely amongst the Vietnamese community, and thus leading to Vietfest’s conception for the first time in 2014. Since then, Vietfest has always been devoted to the overarching goal of showcasing the beauty of Vietnamese culture to international friends as well as narrowing the gap between Vietnamese communities and other local communities. Through two seasons in 2014 and 2017, Vietfest has inspired successive generations and brought the pearls in Vietnamese culture to display by ways of numerous colourful cultural activities and performances. Vietnamese Festival 2019 is hosted by Vietnamese student associations in various universities in Adelaide, endeavouring to deliver a collective celebration of our origin.
