Our Mission

We strive for collaboration with our partners and volunteers to ensure a seamless event and organization. The Vietnamese American Cultural Parade's (VACP) purpose is to showcase our traditions, cultural values and unity in the belief of a free Viet Nam. We do this by unifying the overseas Vietnamese Community throughout the year.

Every June for over 30 years, the Vietnamese community from North America as well as some from other countries meet in New York City to participate in the Immigrants Alliance Foundation Parade. The IAF started in 1973 by Edward Juarez to help the immigrants build a cohesive new life in the United States of America. It is a UN Economic and Social council endorsed organization.

The parade gives us a chance to showcase the South Vietnamese flag, our traditional clothing and music. Large Vietnamese communities gather together to see friends and families from across the United States and Canada.
