Thank You Day 2026: The Free Vietnamese Festival at La Bellevilloise Featuring Entertainment and Food

Following the success of its inaugural edition, Cảm ơn Day is returning to Paris on February 8, 2026. This free Vietnamese festival organized by Banh Mi Media will take place once again at La Bellevilloise in the 20th arrondissement, offering a full day of activities, Vietnamese cuisine, workshops, and live performances. Please note that while the daytime activities and market are open to the public free of charge from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the evening showcase requires a ticket.

Last year, over 5,000 visitors flocked to Point Éphémère to immerse themselves in a vibrant celebration of creative Vietnamese culture. For its second edition in eastern Paris, Cảm ơn Day is moving to a new venue—La Bellevilloise, an iconic spot in Belleville—while maintaining its lively and welcoming spirit. The event coincides with Lunar New Year festivities and the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, a meaningful moment to give thanks for the past year and embrace the new energy that’s coming.

A Festival Celebrating Vietnamese Heritage

Thank you — in Vietnamese, it means "thank you." That's exactly the spirit of this festival: a moment to pause, express gratitude, and realign before starting a new year. Banh Mi Media has teamed up with numerous artists and partners to offer a day dedicated to connecting and celebrating Vietnamese culture. On the program, you'll find a photography exhibit, creative workshops, a marketplace of artisans, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, as well as conferences and screenings.

The forum, which is free to attend from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant world of Vietnamese culture in all its facets. If you're on the lookout for a fun outing with family or friends, this is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in a warm and lively atmosphere, meet talented creators and artists, and indulge in flavors that celebrate Vietnam and its diaspora.

Evening Showcase and DJ Sets

The day ends on a high note with an exclusive showcase followed by a DJ set at La Bellevilloise’s club, running from 7 p.m. to midnight. On stage, artists from the Vietnamese diaspora—such as Maline, Nhi, Danh, Dang, Ychan, and Mademoiselle Lou—will energize the crowd with a vibrant mix of Vietnamese tunes, rap, R'n'B, and pop. An energetic tribute to their homeland, promising an unforgettable evening where tradition and modernity collide in a burst of creativity.

For the evening event, tickets are available for purchase online: €17 in advance and €20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased on Shotgun.
