Carrying forward nearly 180 years of history from the Port Phillip Farmers’ Society, Berwick Show has grown into more than Victoria’s agricultural icon, it has become a vibrant “symphony” of multicultural communities.

AVAC was proud to take part with our Velvet Wire Flower Craft stall, where soft chenille wires became a beautiful cultural bridge. From curious children to enthusiastic adults, everyone had the chance to create their own unique flower, each one reflecting personal creativity and joy.

AVAC presented the performance “Âu Cơ – Lạc Long Quân: 100 Eggs, 100 Children”, bringing to life the legendary origin story of the Vietnamese people at the Community Language Festival in Footscray.

The performance guided the audience through a range of emotions, with a standout moment when the children emerged from the symbolic “hundred‑egg sac,” filling the crowd with excitement and reminding everyone of the deep pride we hold in our cultural roots.

 For over a decade, AVAC has had the joy and honour of joining the Moomba Festival, sharing the colours, rhythms, and spirit of Vietnamese arts and culture with Melbourne.

From our elders to our youngest performers, each year has been a celebration of heritage, creativity, and community pride. Moomba has become a place where AVAC’s story continues to grow, where Vietnamese culture shines brightly among the many voices that make Melbourne so vibrant.

The Victorian Cup of Nations is more than a football tournament, it is a celebration of culture, unity, and community spirit in Victoria. The event brings together multicultural communities through sport, music, and international cuisine, showcasing the vibrant diversity of our state.
