Việt Nam: A Voyage, which took place on Tuesday, welcomed over 500 guests, including representatives from the New South Wales government, the Vietnamese Embassy, key state agencies, diplomatic delegations in Sydney and a large number of Vietnamese expatriates living and working in Australia.
Consul General Nguyễn Đăng Thắng and New South Wales Attorney General Michael Daley were also there.
The highlight of the programme was a series of vibrant artistic performances, ranging from traditional dances to ethnic music. Each performance not only reflected the diverse beauty of various regions, but also narrated historical and cultural stories through music, costumes and dance, taking the audience on a journey to explore Vietnamese culture.
Việt Nam: A Voyage coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival that is much anticipated by Vietnamese of all ages from around the world. To celebrate this occasion, students from Viet School presented a performance featuring colourful, shimmering lanterns and songs capturing the festive spirit of the full moon night.

Artists from VACEO brought to the event performances that showcased their artistry, technique and creativity while honouring traditional values in a modern setting through every beat of the drums, notes of the flute, strums of the lute and movements of dance.
The appearance of artist Đinh Linh, a master of the Vietnamese bamboo flute, added a unique highlight to the programme.
The event also presented the catwalk collection Mùa Nước Nổi (Flow of Memories) by B.TheLabel by Bianca Nguyen, taking the audience on a journey to explore the beauty and style of the Mekong Delta.

Inspired by her hometown of Châu Đốc City in the southern province of An Giang, the designer skillfully blended traditional and modern elements to create unique pieces that reflect the cultural identity of Việt Nam.
According to the designer, the collection was not only a work of art but also a tribute to her homeland, promoting the style of Việt Nam to international friends.
