Commemorating 50 Years of Vietnamese CultureThe Vietnamese American community in Portland will be commemorating a profound milestone - 50 years since the beginning of a new chapter for many Vietnamese immigrants in America, April 30th, 2025.

The events showcase the resilience and achievements of the community, acknowledge its transformative role in Portland, and inspire the next generation to continue this rich legacy. ‍The Past begins on April 5th, 2025, at the Oswego Heritage House Museum with an exhibit - “And the Story Begins.” This exhibition captures the perspective of a Vietnamese immigrant artist, reflecting on a pivotal moment in his life: transitioning from the familiarity of his home just six months prior to navigating a new country, language, and culture. This collection of art is one experience through the eyes of a Vietnamese man coming to America after the end of a war.‍ The Present gathers on April 30th, 2025, for “50 Years of Vietnamese Contribution. The event will take place at the Oregon Historical Society in downtown Portland. This gala is to recognize the Vietnamese individuals and families who have contributed to Portland’s community through business, academics, politics, and arts.‍The Future will be held on May 16th, 2025, at the Jeffrey Allen Gallery, to proudly present “Wishes for the Vietnamese American Future.” This event will debut the Mother Spirit Temple (Đền Mẫu Vân Hương) as a recognized Vietnamese artifact and cultural heritage practice, and celebrating its 50-year contribution to shaping Vietnamese identity in Oregon.
