Vietnam Festival 2026

Vietnam Festival fills the Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza on September 26 and 27, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. with Vietnamese food vendors, live music and dance, an Áo Dài fashion showcase, and Mid-Autumn (Trung Thu) family programming. Organizers and the Eventbrite listing both call general admission free for all ages; food and optional tasting or VIP bundles are separate.

The plaza sits at about 750 Hornby Street, downtown, so SkyTrain and buses are the easy path if parking feels stressful. Look for the family activity zone, passport-style kids games, lantern moments, and lion-dance energy on the opening block. Hosts are the Vietnam Canada Business Association with Soul Of Vietnam.

Treat the free plaza day as the plan, and any premium add-ons as optional. Agree on a meeting lamppost before teens disappear into the vendor lanes, and bring a light layer for the evening stretch to 8 p.m.
