Soul of Vietnam Victoria 2025 is a landmark event — the first-ever large-scale Vietnamese cultural festival on Vancouver Island — celebrating the richness of Vietnamese heritage while fostering cultural exchange and community connection. This free, family-friendly festival will bring together thousands at Ship Point for a vibrant celebration featuring music, traditional dance, fashion shows, and community performances by local talents and cultural groups from across the island.

Guests can indulge in authentic Vietnamese cuisine, from famous phở to sweet chè, alongside other Southeast Asian and global flavours; experience the Ao Dai & Designer Showcase, blending traditional attire with modern, local creativity; and explore a bustling marketplace of handmade crafts, cultural goods, artisan products, interactive booths, and family activities. Easily accessible by walking, bus, or bike — with BC Transit service, nearby bike parking, and free water refill stations — the festival invites everyone to celebrate, connect, and discover the Soul of Vietnam at the harbour.
