Our mission is to celebrate and preserve Vietnamese cultural heritage through the Áo Dài, promote artistic talents, foster cultural pride, support and strengthen our community, and inspire future generations to embrace Vietnamese traditions.Founded by Dan Do and the late Jenny Do — an attorney and passionate advocate for the arts and social change — the Áo Dài Festival began as a collaboration among artists and activists who believed in the power of humanity through the arts. Inspired by a children’s shelter in Huế, Central Việt Nam, created by the Friends of Hue Foundation (FHF), the festival has supported vulnerable youth who have overcome neglect and abuse. Many former residents of the shelter have gone on to mentor the next generation and become leaders in their communities.Since its inception in 2011, the Áo Dài Festival has grown into a dynamic platform showcasing the work of talented artists, designers, and performers. In 2024, the board of directors for the Áo Dài Festival was officially formed, strengthening the organization’s commitment to its mission and ensuring long-term sustainability. The festival continues to expand its impact by promoting social equity, supporting diverse charitable causes, and using art as a way to uplift and inspire communities both locally and globally.As the Áo Dài Festival continues to grow, we remain dedicated to honoring Vietnamese culture while championing meaningful humanitarian efforts. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and partnership of our current and future sponsors, whose support makes this vision possible. Together, we can continue to celebrate Vietnamese heritage, uplift communities, and inspire the next generation with compassion and creativity." } ] } ] ```
