For those who know the neighborhood, it’s not a coincidence: the 13th has been the beating heart of the Vietnamese diaspora in Paris for decades. The festival fits perfectly into this backdrop. Behind the event, Art Space collaborates with the Cultural Center of Vietnam in France to create something more vibrant than just an institutional showcase.
This year, the guiding theme is “Vietnam Through the 5 Senses,” an invitation to explore Vietnamese culture through its most tangible and sensory aspects: what we see, what we eat, what we touch, what we hear.

The Street Food Paradise
Let's be honest, the first thing that gets us excited about going there is the food corner. The festival is set up at the Cultural Center of Vietnam and promises a dozen mouthwatering street food stands. On the menu: crispy bánh mì, ultra-fresh bò bún, traditional little dumplings, and of course, the legendary iced Vietnamese coffee to cool off. It's the perfect combo for a food tour.

Fashion Shows and Art
After filling up on delicious food, it’s time for visual culture. Over 50 international artists are taking over the venues. The main highlight? The show “Vietnam in Colors”, which combines contemporary dances with a fashion show featuring the iconic áo dài (the traditional Vietnamese dress reimagined in a modern way). On top of that, you can also admire an enormous exhibition of nearly 100 photos captured by the vibrant local photography scene.
