Áo Dài Festival 8

The Áo Dài Festival returns in 2026 to celebrate Vietnamese culture through fashion, music, and community.

🌸 Áo Dài Festival 8: Garden of Dreams

Sunday, May 24, 2026 | School of Arts & Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza | San José, CA

Step into a Garden of Dreams — where Vietnamese culture, fashion, and artistry blossom in a breathtaking celebration.

Áo Dài Festival (ADF) is a unique cultural experience honoring the elegance of the Áo Dài, Vietnam’s national dress. Since 2011, the festival has grown from a local celebration into a signature cultural event that brings together designers, performers, artists, and the community to celebrate heritage, inspire creativity, and build meaningful connections.

Last year, ADF welcomed hundreds of guests for an unforgettable day of vibrant fashion shows, cultural performances, music, and community spirit.
