On Saturday, November 8, 2025, the Consular Club of Ho Chi Minh City successfully hosted its 29th International Charity Bazaar, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of thousands of local residents, expatriates, and international visitors.
Held at The Global City Sales Gallery, the event was a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and compassion, transforming the venue into a bustling global marketplace for one day.
The 29th edition of the Bazaar was a phenomenal showcase of international diversity, featuring stalls from 15 participating countries. Attendees were treated to a rich variety of products and experiences. Booths representing nations from around the globe offered an array of unique imports and handcrafted goods.
Visitors shopped for exquisite handmade crafts, artisanal jewelry, traditional fashion, and home décor that are often difficult to source locally. A significant draw was the vast selection of international cuisine. Diplomatic representatives and volunteers served up authentic national dishes, specialty foods, and beverages, allowing guests to taste the world.
Beyond shopping and dining, the day was packed with activities. Attendees participated in popular raffles and silent auctions featuring valuable prizes. Family-friendly activities ensured fun for all ages, while a special, adrenaline-pumping exhibition match by Vietnam’s Pro Wrestling team added a unique and thrilling dimension to the day-long event.
The success of the International Charity Bazaar is fueled entirely by volunteer effort. The Consular Club HCMC, which organizes and executes the event, has been a pillar of the community for more than three decades.
Operating solely on the goodwill and dedication of its members—comprising spouses of diplomats, business figures, and representatives from international organizations—the Club is dedicated to making a tangible difference in Vietnam.
The 29th International Charity Bazaar not only provided a spectacular day out but reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Consular Club HCMC to its mission of uniting the international community for local philanthropic impact.
