What is BridgeFest?

Formerly known as South East Asian Pride 2016 – a music event honoring diversity and equality in society, BridgeFest was held for five consecutive years and has become a signature community event that attracts a large audience and spreads inspirational messages about equality and social integration.

Since 2017, BridgeFest has been co-organized by Oxfam and the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam. BridgeFest is part of Oxfam’s worldwide campaign “Even It Up – Bridging the Gap,” which aims to eliminate inequality.

BridgeFest 2020 was co-organized by Oxfam and the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, REACH, ECUE, and Hexagon JSC.

In 2022, the Swiss Embassy joined BridgeFest as one of the Event Organizers, and this year also marks the first year the program will be held in Da Nang city.
