Cultural Heritage Festival

Come celebrate!

This festival is a proud celebration of culture, identity, and perseverance. Taking place in the heart of Little Saigon, the event honors the 50 years of the Vietnamese American journey with live performances, food vendors, historical exhibits, a community stage, and family activities. It’s about recognizing how far the community has come, from refugees to leaders, business owners, and cultural icons, and looking ahead to the future.

Join us for a vibrant three-day festival filled with music, food, tradition, and fun — happening August 15-17 at Freedom Hall @ Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley.

Dance to the beat of new wave bands and live music performances on our community stage, where old-school sound meets a new generation of Vietnamese American talent. Marvel at dazzling traditional dance performances, and celebrate a culture that has thrived for 50 years in America.

Bring the whole family to enjoy carnival rides, games, and activities just for kids — plus shop local vendors and enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine like pho, bánh mì, chè, and more.

Wander through our cultural exhibit hall to explore the remarkable journey of the Vietnamese American community, from refuge to resilience, told through powerful visuals, artifacts, and personal stories.

Whether you're here for the food, the music, or the legacy, this festival is a joyful tribute to 50 years of Vietnamese American pride.

Culture, community, and celebration — all in one unforgettable weekend.
