VietFest - Vietnamese Heritage Festival

VietFest Will Return in 2025

--------------------------------------------

Dear Friends and Supporters of Vietfest,

It is with great sadness that we announce the postponement of Vietfest 11. This decision was not made lightly. By refocusing our efforts this year, it will allow us to best serve you, our community, and develop strong plans for 2025 when we will celebrate half a century of Vietnamese people, culture, and community in the United States.

For over ten years, NOVAL-DC’s Vietnamese Heritage Festival has celebrated and honored the rich culture and traditions of the Vietnamese community. We would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the previous Vietfest chairs, sponsors, directors, vendors, and countless volunteers to build this festival from a small community gathering in a parking lot to a two-day event with thousands of attendees. Your dedication and enthusiasm have been invaluable, and we offer our sincere appreciation.

The current leadership is hard at work organizing events to engage with and support our members in 2024. We will be announcing these on our social media channels as they arise.

Thank you for your unwavering support and understanding. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with questions and concerns.

We will see you in 2025!

With great gratitude,

NOVAL-DC Board of Directors
