About

Viet Day at Yerba Buena Gardens Festival adds a poignant thread to an event that honors Vietnamese cultural roots, lived experiences, and contributions to the broader American landscape. The celebration includes exhibitions on Vietnamese history in the U.S. and the Bay Area, authentic Vietnamese finger foods by Chef Nikki Tran, and a performance by the genre-bending musical collective Blood Moon Orchestra led by virtuoso Vân-Ánh Võ. Featuring master musicians, Blood Moon Orchestra seamlessly blends diverse sounds with traditional Vietnamese instruments to create fresh and unexpected musical dialogues. Adding to the celebration, student performers from the Vietnamese Educational & Cultural Association (VECA) and Au Co Vietnamese Cultural Center play an opening set, taking the stage alongside their teachers.
