Join us in honouring the incredible resilience and contributions of the Vietnamese community as we mark 50 years since their arrival and settlement in the City of Yarra.

This special community celebration will feature:
✨ Traditional Vietnamese bamboo dancing
🥁 Performances by local artists and cultural groups
🍽 Authentic Vietnamese food and iced coffee
🎨 Family-friendly arts, crafts and creative workshops

📅 Saturday, 21 June 2025
🕒 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Collingwood Town Hall, 140 Hoddle Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067

This is an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate a rich cultural journey that has shaped not only Yarra but the multicultural fabric of Victoria.

All are warmly welcome.

It’s been 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, and over 42 years since AVWA began supporting Vietnamese Australians who arrived as refugees.

To mark this anniversary, we’ve created a special edition of our yellow bag, featuring the iconic three red stripes - a symbol of pride, resilience and identity.

Join us to commemorate this history, in partnership with the City of Yarra:
🗓 Saturday 21 June 2025
📍 Collingwood Town Hall
⏰ From 3PM

Be part of this moment with us, enjoy a range of food, drink, dance demonstrations, celebrate our shared history and community, and pick up your limited-edition bag. We can't wait to see you there! 💛✨
