UCI's Vietnamese Culture Night (VCN) is an evening dedicated to the Vietnamese-American  history, culture, and heritage. Our VCN is structured as a live theater play that incorporates various performances from groups such as Gió Nam Múa Lân (Southern Winds Lion Dance), TRANCE (Traditional Dance), and many other performances from community groups. Each year, our VCN centers around a main storyline to further our organization’s goal of preserving yesterday’s traditions while incorporating a modern perspective of the evolving Vietnamese-American culture.
