East Coast finale — phở meets the sea.
The tour closes where Canada meets the ocean. Halifax's waterfront hosts a seafood-meets-Vietnamese fusion pavilion (phở with Nova Scotia scallops, anyone?), live đàn bầu performances against the harbour, and a fireworks finale over the water to close the 2027 season.
All programming included with festival admission. Cooking demos and tastings first-come, first-served.

60+ vendors at Halifax — here are a few highlights from the 2027 lineup.

Third-generation chè recipes from Đà Nẵng, served with a Maritime smile.

All venues are wheelchair accessible with accessible washrooms, viewing platforms at main stages, and quiet zones.
Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome in outdoor areas. Service animals always permitted.
Flavours of Vietnam runs rain or shine. A handful of demos move under cover in bad weather — check our social channels day-of.
