Where global flavours meet cultural discoveries and generosity becomes a shared celebration, the Consular Club of Ho Chi Minh City welcomes the return of its 30th International Charity Bazaar on 31 October 2026. A beloved gathering of the city’s international community, the occasion promises a delightful journey around the world, all for a meaningful cause.
For one special Saturday, the British International School in Ho Chi Minh City will transform into a vibrant international marketplace, where the aromas of global cuisines mingle with colourful artisanal creations, cultural performances and the joyful spirit of togetherness.
Organised by the Consular Club of Ho Chi Minh City, the 30th International Charity Bazaar invites guests to discover an enticing selection of international delicacies, distinctive beverages, handcrafted treasures, fashion, jewellery and thoughtful gifts. Beyond the pleasures of tasting and shopping, families can enjoy cultural entertainment, children’s activities, games and exciting prize draws.

Yet, behind this celebration of flavours and cultures lies something far more meaningful: the simple belief that generosity can bring people together and transform lives.
Since its establishment in 1994, the Consular Club has raised and distributed more than VND 32 billion to over 170 charitable initiatives, supporting vulnerable communities throughout Southern Vietnam. From healthcare and education to essential community programmes, its philanthropic efforts have created a lasting legacy of compassion and solidarity.
Last year’s edition welcomed more than 2,000 visitors and featured 104 stalls, reflecting the growing enthusiasm of both Vietnamese and international communities for an occasion that combines cultural exchange with charitable giving.

For Margo Aluwihare, President of the Consular Club of Ho Chi Minh City, the annual bazaar represents one of the organisation’s most significant fundraising initiatives, bringing together people of different nationalities and backgrounds in support of a common purpose.
As the event celebrates its milestone 30th edition, it offers a beautiful reminder that the most memorable experiences are not simply those we savour, but those we share.
Because sometimes, the finest taste in life is the joy of giving.
