“This festival holds a significant place in Vietnamese culture, symbolizing unity, gratitude, and the joy of harvest. It provides us with a wonderful opportunity to share our traditions and values with the broader Geelong community.

“Our Mid-Autumn Festival event will feature a variety of engaging activities, including traditional performances, lantern displays, cultural workshops, and authentic Vietnamese cuisine. By participating in this event, attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of our culture and the contributions of the Vietnamese community to the vibrant mosaic of Geelong.

“In addition to our recent successful participation in the Pako Festa Parade and our affiliation with Cultura, our Mid-Autumn Festival event underscores our commitment to fostering cross-cultural exchanges and celebrating diversity. We believe that events like these are instrumental in creating an inclusive and harmonious community that embraces and values the unique perspectives of all its members.” The Vietnamese People of Geelong.
