The Boston Little Saigon Cultural District has been a tremendous project in the making for the past three years. The Mass Cultural Council formalized the district on May 18, 2021, following a December 2019 resolution by the Boston City Council. We are excited to celebrate arts and culture, introduce new initiatives, and showcase exciting performances. Join us for an evening of great food and programming.
The gala is a fundraising event to support New England’s first Vietnamese cultural district. Your contributions will support the hiring of full-time staff, art installations, events, and allow us to provide more businesses with the resources they need to flourish in the Fields Corner area of Dorchester, MA. We hope you will join Boston Little Saigon in celebrating this momentous occasion!
